Hi Hank, There isn't a built-in way to do this in Flex. But you could easily create a Flash swf that emulates this, and use it in your Flex application; either with a popup or through states.
-TH Yeah, I know that I can just do it manually. I was just wondering if there was some built in thing that takes an event and does all the right stuff (like it does with spinning the cursor). I was also suspicious since so many people use the same artwork, which is only used in flash. So I thought there might be some built in way to do it.

This how I do it... :-) Yours, Weyert de Boer I want to put up an area on the screen that spins when a remoteObject is getting its data. I dont mean a spinning cursor but an actual area on the screen. I have seen this many times before, and the idea is to tell the user that a particular area of the screen is waiting for remote data. Also, I am particularly curious about the artwork for this purpose which so many people seem to use. Its sort of a spinning circle and I believe it has an arrow in it. As you move around the circle the gradient of the circle diminishes. I am wondering if this widget is in flex or if people just copy it. Hopefully from my megar description, someone actually knows what I am talking about. Hank ------------------------ Yahoo!
