Yeah, precisely. You answered your own question :) Well, if you are aware of the way Flash works, if you want to show anything in the preloader, there are a few undocumented rules...
1. The image has to be of a very small file size 2. It has to be a part of the SWF and should not be externally loaded at runtime 3. The image has to be present in the first frame of the SWF. Well... Flex handles the 3rd point on its own. All you should ensure is that the image you are loading should be embedded in your Flex application. Its because you are loading your application, you cannot load something else at that time and show that image as the preloader of your application. Its always better to embed the preloader image.
