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,

Ok, so I just created a component. It needs to access remoteObjects. I defined the component as a canvas. But I guess canvas's cant have sub items that are remoteObjects, so a compiler error is thrown. But the whole purpose of this component is to display remoteObject data in a scrolling list.
