Well, if you supply your own preloader UI, you can put it back up and nobody will know.
It is probably possible to delay the taking down of the preloader UI, but that's going to be harder. It will involve blocking events and dispatching them later. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of b_alen Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 3:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Possible to add some data to load to the default preloader? Sure, that's the only way to do it now. But then you end up with two preloaders and handling multiple loaders. If you had that all in the initial preloader it would be much more seamless. So I wasn't really asking how to load data in the beginning, but rather I wanted to know if my option is something doable now or at least something that could be put on a wish list.
