I had a thread going here about how to show progress before a potentially long-running but synchronous operation (in my case encoding a DisplayObject as a PNG or JPEG to add to an AlivePDF PDF.
Since I can't seem to force a busy cursor (ironic), one of the suggestions was to pop up a window before starting the encoding. But I've tried listening to creationComplete, render, show, addedToStage etc. etc., and in all cases the popup doesn't appear until the encoding is complete. I was unable to find any event dispatched by the PopupManager either. Help!
