i want to make a preloader screen for my app but since it is already on the phone how can i detect when it is initialized?
atm i see like 2-3 seconds of black screen when i run it.

Put the Default.png splash screen in, and that will show up immediately, and will stay there while the main app loads.

"Default.png" is iOS only and supported by Flash CS 5.5 authoring tools
note: Android SDK has no "splash" image feature at all as of 3.1 API version. One could build custom "preloading" view to be shown on screen on application startup. There is similar concept in sparks mobile SplashScreen I think, see:

Yes, in Flex SDK to be strict - mobile profile (mobile components needs to be in build path). See more on subject:

Here have a quick view on creating splash images and icons for Iphone including retina display:

There is no splash screen method for Android, but you can create your own preloader in flash with AS3.0

i have a preloader but it only works if you download the application and as you know it is already on the phone so it is not working...
i need something that shows a splash or something while the assets are loading into the momory and i guess this is not possible

I have it working with as3 using Flash IDE.
I did this:

Also, in the export settings there is an area to add files to be packaged with the apk. So you do not have to remotly download the swf.
In the "preloader swf" export settings you can add your main file ... yourMainApp.swf
then you can load it up local.

(if i try to write it now without a way to test i'm sure i'll mess it up)
