Splash Screen for Android with Flash CS5.5

[SirDragoon]

How can I make a SplashScreen with Flash CS5.5 or just with AIR/AS3 codes. I need it while the App/Game is loading...

I know that it's possible with Flex 4.5 as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                          firstView="views.HomeView"
                          splashScreenImage="@Embed('splashscreen.png')" />

...

But I want to do it without Flex. So can I ?

Thank you

Use Default.png to show it as a splash screen.

The Default.png is for Iphone not Android, I need SplashScreen for Android apps.

nobody know about it ? ...

Android officially not support any splash screens, you make the one within your flash file with the preloader.

Can you give me some more info about this? How do you make a splash screen for android?

SO: You can't create a real splashSCreen or loader, you need to create a fictive loader/splashScreen at start of your apps.

Here is a workaround of both of you, Joeboy and SriDragon.

A sample to create a splash screen before your application begins.

As I said, you can't create a real splashScreen or loader, you need to create a fictive loader/splashScreen at start of your apps.Because a real Spash Screen like you can do with Android SDK, it display before loading your apps, so you don't have a 1 or 2 or 3....  sec black screen... (When you make a big game).

i'm not sure if this is necessary anymore, but i took the advise of another user here

the key difference is, the user stated a preloading swf needed to embed the image in order to display before the whole apk is loaded.

Seems to be working for me anyway
