Preloader in Flex 3 beta 2

Since the new beta release of the flex framework, the preloader wasn't working anymore. It looks like the problem has been solved in one of the nightly build pre-release of the sdk.

Custom preloader

Like a lot of people I wanted to add my own preloader in my application. In my google searches I found a very helpfull post from Ted Patrick here. In some ways it was a very good explanation about how the whole thing works but something was missing... the progress bar!

Here is my custom preloader example. Hope this while help.







Some stuff need to be added. for example the percent progress label. If someone is quicker than I to implement it please post a link in the comments.

PS: Right click and select "View Source..." to see how the things are working together.
