[flexcoders] Communication between custom preloader and the application

[João]

Hello,

I have created a custom application preloader as described here:
http://www.onflex.org/ted/2006/07/flex-2-preloaders-swf-png-gif-examples.php

I need my preloader to communicate with the application, by
dispatching an event or calling a method on the appliaction where it
resides, but I'm not being able to make them communicate. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

João Saleiro
