[flexcoders] Preloader
I would like to use the Application default preloader (gray box with rounded corners with a loading bar) for my modules, does anybody know how to refrence it? - Stephen
Re: [flexcoders] Preloader
Modules are not loaded on the display list so they won’t show a preloader. Better option is to hook up mx.controls.ProgressBar to the IModuleInfo events. You can skin it to look like the other progress bar.

[flexcoders] Preloader in a big shared library, bad idea?
Hi, I have a Flex Library Project that is the foundation for all other flex projects in our department. It includes complex mxml components, themes, fonts, images, assets, etc. - heavy stuff. I am now working on a custom preloader that I would like all the applications to share and use. The question is, should I create separate Flex Library Project just for the preloader to keep the size at an absolute minimum, or is flex capable of loading only the preloader bits during preloading if I include it in my big fat library? Thanks, Baz
Re: [flexcoders] Preloader in a big shared library, bad idea?
Only what you use in your app will be linked into the SWF, so if the preloader is all that you use then none of the other bloat will make it into the SWF file. So your library SWC might be 5 megs, but if all you use is the tiny preloader then your swf file won't be big... well, unless you think all Flex swfs are big... :) Doug On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 1:57 PM, Baz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a Flex Library Project that is the foundation for all other flex projects in our department.

Re: [flexcoders] Preloader in a big shared library, bad idea?
Thanks Doug, Lets say that a new application links to my 5mb library and at one point or another it ends up using 3mb worth of components, including the tiny preloader. At the time of preloading, does it only load the 5kb needed to preload, even though later on it needs 3mb? Or does it load the whole 3mb, then run the preloader? If it is the latter, then I clearly need a separate preloader library because it doesn't make sense to load 3mb to then run a loader.

Re: [flexcoders] Preloader in a big shared library, bad idea?
aha, I see. I think you should be good to go. As far as I know, the preloader will get loader first and that will get added to the stage and run while the rest of the SWF loads. Just make sure you don't use any huge classes within your Preloader (ie don't use UIComponent or any Flex controls in the preloader).

[flexcoders] preloader customization (great docs)
Whoever sent me the link for the preloader docs, awsome. One question,
no what type of preloader I use, it says downloading, then
initaliazting, then the progress bar only gets to about 65% and then
my site loads. why is that?
// code
package com.preloader {
import mx.preloaders.*;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
public class DownloadProgressBarSubClassMin extends
DownloadProgressBar {
public function DownloadProgressBarSubClassMin() {
super();
// Set the download label.
downloadingLabel=Downloading Portfolio...
// Set the initialization label.
initializingLabel=Initializing Portfolio...
// Set the minimum display time to 2.5 seconds.
MINIMUM_DISPLAY_TIME=2500;
}
// Override to return true so progress bar appears
// during initialization.
override protected function
showDisplayForInit(elapsedTime:int, count:int):Boolean {
return true;
}
// Override to return true so progress bar appears during
download.
override protected function
showDisplayForDownloading(elapsedTime:int,
event:ProgressEvent):Boolean {
return true;
}
}
}
[flexcoders] Preloader - only shows after app has loaded
Hi I have an app that's approx. 2MB big was using the default Flex preloader, which has suddenly stopped working. I have confirmed this by throttling my app with Charles. While my app loads, there is a blank screen. Once the swf has loaded, the preloader displays for a short few seconds then my app displays. I made a custom preloader, hooking into the various events. This had exactly the same effect. It only displayed after the swf had loaded. I am using Flex 3 Beta 3. Cheers Tracy

[flexcoders] preloader
Hi, I would like to change simple attributes (color, font, layout, size etc) of an Application Preloader. Can i do this by changing the System Preloader itself, rather than creating a Custom Preloader Class? I have gone through the below url, but is there a simple way of changing the preloader... http://www.onflex.org/ted/2006/07/flex-2-preloaders-swf-png-gif-examples.php Thanks Regards, Gautam.
Re: [flexcoders] preloader
Gautam using the barColor, or extending the preloaderClass you can do that. Only extending your component. here's has a example of that http://www.igorcosta.org/?p=40 regards.

[flexcoders] preloader or viewstate while charts initiailize
Hi guys, I need to display something while my charts are loading in a dashboard style interface where different things are initializing at different times, I wondered how people where showing this busy state, use a viewstate to switch between the charrt and another state with the animation, is there something built into the graph ?

RE: [flexcoders] preloader or viewstate while charts initiailize
I've created a little StatusWindow component (that is modal) that I use to relay any kind of message to a user. So it basically appears while a remote operation is occuring, but I guess u can use it whenever u want. So u can do similar.
