So here’s the problem:
Flash and Flex do a great job preloading themselves… however, they are big enough that they take forever to even get to that point… so the user on a slower connection sits and waits with a blank screen not knowing that the SWF is loading.
Is there a way to get an image “Loading…” underneath the Flash Object? I’ve tried it with a div background-image but it doesn’t seem to work…
Any thoughts?
