That's a big image so I would expect a flicker as there would be a delay before the image finishes loading, especially once you deploy to a slow network

I tried to explicitly set the dimensions on the mx:Image but still had the same "flicker" result on the transition. For that matter I tried to explicitly set the same image dimensions on it's containing mx:Box and the ViewStack as well... but the same thing happens. The best short-term workaround I could muster was to set the initial selectedIndex to the second image which loads it, then set the ViewStack to it's proper position via a actionscript call later. The "flicker" behavior is still there, but I think it's slightly less noticeable on the first image when the application loads then on the second (but still a bit ugly). Here's my ViewStack if anyone can see anything wrong with it: <mx:ViewStack id="bgImageStack" width="100%" height="100%" creationPolicy="all selectedIndex="1" creationCompleteEffect="{blurIn}"> <mx:Box width="1024" height="768" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" hideEffect="{blurOut}" showEffect="{blurIn}"> <mx:Image source="@Embed('assets/images/background/myBig01.jpg')" width="1024" height="768" scaleContent="false" horizontalAlign="left" verticalAlign="top"/> </mx:Box> <mx:Box width="1024" height="768" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" hideEffect="{blurOut}" showEffect="{blurIn}"> <mx:Image source="@Embed('assets/images/background/myBig02.jpg')" width="1024" height="768" scaleContent="false" horizontalAlign="left" verticalAlign="top"/> </mx:Box> </mx:ViewStack> "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The problem usually has to do with the fact that images are loaded > asynch so they don't get measured properly the first time. > > If you know the size of the image, set the mx:Image to that size so it > will hold space for it when it comes in.
