[flexcoders] Flex Preloader, not displaying immediately

2007-12-03 Thread polestar11
Hi There

I'm experiencing some issues with the default Flex preloader. 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

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