Question

Spinning wait cursor

Hi. I like to show simple spinning wait cursor or spinner when

initializing Stage3D

accessing SQLite

creating Instances

calling System.gc()

and so on.

I used enterFrame / Timer to try to rotate the spinner,

but the animation is not shown on an actual device

since AIR currently is not supporting UI thread.

I heard that it will be supported on next update or so though.

But in a meattime, Is there any workaround?

Why not have it be an mc that you set to play while loading and then kill it when load is done?

I tried that also. But the mc seems not playing animation while accessing database.

I'm using  mxml View compoent with embedded images / swfs.

Does that solution supposed to work?
