iOS splash screen

[Scott Morrow]

Ralph,
I don’t know if this will help in your case but I had a similar sounding problem in one of my iOS apps. The problem seemed dependent on  actions (and a visual effect) that happened during the openCard handler. When I used send in time to call these events the black flash went away. In my case waiting 10 milliseconds made the problem intermittent.  100 milliseconds seems to have cured it. Exactly what the problem was I never (unfortunately) bothered to discover.
