Adding a stack to an existing stack (Late addition)

[Francis Nugent Dixon]

Hi from Beautiful Britanny,

I have two independant compiled stacks (.rev).
I want to define one of those stacks as a
main stack, and the other as a substack, and I
want to do it so that the two stacks will be
in my Mac Bundle (see Sarah Reichelt's document)

http://livecodejournal.com/tutorials/saving_data_in_revolution.html

So, using the Standalone Application Settings,
I know that I can create an empty sub-stack, build
it and thus solve my problem. But how do I add an
existing stack, to a main SplashStack, as a sub-stack?

I tried adding a stack file and then "Save as Standalone".

I went into an endless loop, but anyway the added stack
was under MAIN, and not as a substack, so it wasn't
what I wanted.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Francis,

Did you tried:
set the mainStack of stack "myExistingStack" to "SplashStack"

Open both stacks in IDE, open the stack inspector for the stack that
you want te become a substack, set the main stack popup menu to the
other stack, save. This will save the substack into the stackfile of
the mainstack.
