Stuck on Black screen when loading collection proxy w/o monarch (SOLVED)

Questions
#1

Hello, so am using Monarch to try & load a collection proxy and it’s resulting in a black screen when trying to monarch.show the second time.

monarch.show(hash("startproxyID"))

from the main screen.

Here’s how my set up looks
Splash --> StartScreen -->MainMenu

So i first load the splash.collection then make a proxy call to start.collection with

--disable current splash gui
msg.post("/main#splash", "disable")
monarch.show(hash("startproxyID"))

then on button clicked in the loaded StartScreen, the start.script makes another monarch.show() proxy call to mainmenu.collection thus black screen is shown

Second monarch.show call

msg.post("/main#start", "disable")
msg.post("/popup#signin", "disable")
monarch.show(hash("startScreenID"))

Are there any errors in the logs besides the monarch logs? How about if you add some prints in the init-function of a script in the collection that produces the black screen. Does it print anything?

No errors but thanks. I solved it by introducing a new collection that held all the collectionproxies for the game. Exactly like the example.collection in the git repo

Yeah, your bootstrap collection should be a collection with some kind of controller/startup script and all of the screen proxies and use that controller script to load the initial screen.
