The problem usually has to do with the fact that images are loaded asynch so they don't get measured properly the first time.
If you know the size of the image, set the mx:Image to that size so it will hold space for it when it comes in. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of doubleyoucue Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 1:52 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] ViewStack init images problem Hello, I'm having a problem with initializing my ViewStack that contains 2 image files on application startup; I'll try my best to explain: I'm using a ViewStack to hold 2 boxes that each contain a large image that I'm using for a background. I switch between these images using 2 blur transitions, ideally: bgImage1->blurOut, blurIn->bgImage2 However, this doesn't work properly the very first time the application switches between images: bgImage1->blurOut, [bgImage2-full], blurIn->bgImage2 Though after the first time it works as intended. I'm trying to get rid of the 'background image #2' flash I'm getting in between by blur transition. I've set the ViewStacks creationPolicy to "all", but that has had no effect. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Billy
