Hi Judah, AFAIK, you have 2 approaches to execute the code before "preinitialize" event is fired.
1) Mark you class with metadata [Mixin] and put the code in need into method public static function init(systemManager:ISystemManager): See "HowTo create your developer ToolBox with Mixins" blog article http://www.rialvalue.com/blog/2010/05/21/howto-create-your-developer-toolbox-with-mixins/ 2) Via custom preloader class you can execute the code before SystemManager.intialize() method executes, See "How I (sort of) modified Flex’s SystemManager.initialize() method" http://www.visible-form.com/blog/how-i-sort-of-modified-flexs-systemmanagerinitialize-method/ -- Best regards, Andriy Panas On 4 June 2010 06:57, dorkie dork from dorktown <dorkiedorkfromdorkt...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > That's what I'd like to do.
