RE: [flexcoders] Application preloader

[Roger Gonzalez]

Its totally feasible.  Should work.  If you can't get it 
working, I suggest you contact support for some hands-on 
help.
 
But, some thoughts for debugging it:
 
You can add -Dtrace.swc to the JVM's command line, see if you see 
anything printed out in the server log about your preloader.swc getting 
loaded.
 
Right click the symbol in the .fla library to examine its 
properties and make sure that the fields are all set correctly (i.e. 
"export for actionscript", etc.)
 
Make sure 
that if you edit the .fla that you rename the class and the symbol, otherwise 
the SWC loading may get confused (it uses timestamps as versions).  SWC 
files are actually just ZIP archives, you can open it in WinZip and read its 
catalog.xml. A preloader class "Foo" will actually have two definitions, 
Foo and __Packages.Foo.  Make sure these names don't conflict with anything 
in the main frameworks SWC shipped with Flex.

  Application preloader
  
  
  Sorry to bother with this 
  again, but I tried placing preloader.swc in:
   
  \WEB-INF\flex\user_classes (default in my 
  config)
  \servers\default
  \servers\default\flex
  at the same level of the page calling the 
  preloader:
   
  <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" 
  xmlns="*" preloader="preloader">
   
  I basicaly opened the .fla provided in 
  the source code of the book, right clicked the preloader component and 
  exported as swc, then copied into the locations mentioned 
earlier.
   
  Is it a bug or a feature disabled in 
  1.5? Do not hesitate to tell me so I tell my client it is not 
  feasible.
   
  Thank you

  I can't speak to this particular piece of code, but 
  SWCs are found by virtue of being in your library path, not by name.  The 
  standard library path is in your config file, and implicitly includes the 
  application directory itself.

    FYI it doesn't produce any error, the file is 
    compiled but nothing show up, I saw Jester having the same problem a few 
    weeks ago, but didn't see an answer for that :((
    what in the AS file is telling what SWC file to 
    use? is it the className property?

    I am 
    trying to reuse the preloader component that was explained page 648 in the 
    Flex RIA book, but no success.
     
    I 
    copied 
    -file 
    'preloader.swc' in my root
    -folder 
    'com/iterationtwo/preloader/' in my root
     
    I 
    added
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" 
    preloader="com.iterationtwo.preloader.Preloader">
     
    If I 
    remove preloader="..." the default loader appears :((((
     
    Anyone 
    did have success with it?
