Do you have a custom preloader? If too much code is brought in by the preloader, it will delay it.

It used to display immediately in our application but now recently as the app loads there is a blank white screen for the bulk of of the upload & the preloader displays for a short instance just before the app load completes. I used Charles to simulate a slow download speed - although not sure how accurate an experience it will present - and it shows a white screen while downloading the bulk of the main swf. I have tried initializing & adding the main view to the stage in the onComplete event, but there isnt much difference. Our app is quite large (2mb+) and there are a lot of data connections being made in the app's initialize event. The only things that have changed since we noticed the preloader not appearing immediately is upgrading to FlexBuilder 3 beta 2 and our app getting slightly bigger. Any suggestions? Cheers Tracy
