BTW, reading that section in the docs, it says not to use any frameworks components or MXML "...because it would load too slowly." This is a bit misleading. What it really should say is "Your custom preloader should contain as few class dependencies as possible, because you want it to start up as early in the streaming SWF data as it can."
In other words, your preloader can't start running until its dependencies are loaded. So, keep it simple. Oh, and yes, it is also possible to have a wrapper SWF that loads your MXML app. See the Examples Explorer as a sample. -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Gonzalez > Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 8:52 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Is there any way to override the > "initializing" screen? > > > Apart from the nice "US English" Americanisation (:-), is > there a way > > of replacing this with another component? > > > > My scenario is this: while the app (a hotel resevation app) is > > loading, my client wants to use the space to promote > special offers. > > > > Is this possible?
