I was unable to find any way to do this either after a lot of experiment I finally gave up. A callLater after creationComplete, or any other of a host of events that it looks like you tried as well still happens before the popup is visible as you found. I ended up just doing a timer of about 1s after creation complete, which is annoying and hacky, but the only reliable solution I could find =(

Have you attempted using callLater() to start the encoding of the png a frame after the event is dispatched?

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!
