Yes. > It would help immensely to get an answer to this question so I can > decide whether or not to end my search. You should be all set then. Implementation left as an exercise to the reader. :-) Ok, some details: in order to avoid pulling in the Flex application model (which would defeat the purpose of a preloader), you will need to write low-level Actionscript. Look up the docs for MovieClip and its methods. You'll need to do a lot more work than when you use the appmodel components, but you will have total control of your preloader. You might want to use [Embed] to bake in your background image rather than loading it, which would introduce another failure mode. -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
