Works great here, loads almost instantly, must be related to your flash ver or computer/network?

I don't see that here, and it would be surprising if so.

[flexcoders] "Blank Screen" issue with application preloaders
I get a blank screen for more than 10 seconds for the app that's about 700k in size. Only then the preloader appears and starts from somewhere around 70%. In the Flash days, this was easily solved by having one small SWF with preloader that would load the main SWF in empty movie clip. Is something like this possible in Flex? I did a small experiment with loading the Flex app into Flash SWF, but then the sizing and alignments were lost. I also tried loading a Flex app into a smaller Flex app, but still there was a blank screen for quite a while. It's a huge usability issue knowing that users leave after 8 seconds, which is actualy true looking at google analytics reports. I've checked numerous blogs about custom preloaders but only found that all of them have the same issue. These are all the apps and samples with the same issue: http://tv.adobe.com/# http://onflash.org/ted/2006/07/flex-2-custom-preloaders.php http://onflash.org/ted/2006/07/flex-2-preloaders-swf-png-gif-examples.php http://jessewarden.com/2007/07/making-a-cooler-preloader-in-flex-part-1-of-3.html
