Hmmm....this reply doesn't actually explain what I meant, my apologies.

Load up the PythonCard resource editor. For each of your child windows, 
open the resource file associated with it. Click 'Edit' then click 
'Background info'. Make sure that the 'visible at startup' box is not 
ticked. Save the resource file if necessary. Move on to the next one.

You should now find that when you run your main application, the 
'flickering windows' effect has gone away. If you have added code in the 
on_initialize() section of your application to hide all of your child 
windows, you can remove these lines as they are no longer needed.

Hope that's a bit clearer.
