Question

Answer 1

A:

one of the reasons it maybe working on your machine and not others is that your are using a debug version of the flash player to debug your flex app. Then each time you launch you are almost 100% certain that the swf file is not in cache.

Does the problem still exist if you clear your managers cache before launching the app?

From Adobe site (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=app_container_4.html) The download progress bar is not displayed if the SWF file is on your local host or if it is already cached. If the SWF file is not on your local host and is not cached, the progress bar is displayed if less than half of the application is downloaded after 700 milliseconds of downloading.

That still does not 100% explain why it is taking 5min to display the progress bar.

Answer 2

A:

Apparently since it waits to show until you move your mouse over, a work around I found on the net is adding this:

<body onload="document.getElementById('WeddingBandBuilder').focus()">

Where WeddingBandBuilder is the ID to the embedded swf.
