Comments on: Extending Flex with Flash http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2006/09/20/flex-developers-and-the-need-to-understand-flash A blog about our experience with Adobe Flex Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:56:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: nate http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2006/09/20/flex-developers-and-the-need-to-understand-flash/comment-page-1#comment-21214 nate Sat, 09 Jun 2007 05:03:04 +0000 http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=88#comment-21214 This is a great preloader, I've adopted it for many of my projects. One thing I've just come across but have been avoiding is "logout" functionality. is there an easy way to get back to the preloading screen and have it use all the same logic? I'll find a way to do this on my own but I just thought I'd check and get a chance to say: thanks for the great idea and code! This is a great preloader, I’ve adopted it for many of my projects.

I like such kind of tricks. In my last flash application (since then I've switched to flex), I've reached the almost absurd size of the first frame in nearly 300 bytes (just rounded rectangle) and then 4-kbytes preloader had been added at the second frame. This ensures that application appears immediately to user. Then I've added a simple quick tips component -- lightweight too, to attract user with info on application usage (8 tips). I think there's should be no preloaders at all. Each application development schedule should include such task of a project as a implementation of application loading teaser -- and this is creative task. Very useful post, thank you.
