How to create a splash screen?

I was wondering how to create the splash screen that shows up when you just load the program. My program takes a bit to load, because it sets to change the look and feel to system dependent.
So, I want to have a splash screen like the one that eclipse uses to begin the program. How would I do it?
Thanks

How to create custom splash screen that shows loading %?

I'd like to add a splash screen to my app. that shows the loading as a percentage. I have flashbuilder 4.6. How can I do this?

You might need to consider adding your child elements in application manually. Displatch a new event back to the application when the child is created (from creationComplete) and update progress bar.

Creating a splash screen for your app.

Im trying to create a splash screen for my app but im not too sure how it's done.
Im using the following piece of code.
public static void main(String[] args)
          JPanel display = new JPanel();
          display.setPreferredSize(new Dimension( (300), (200) ));
          display.setBackground(Color.white);
               // I WILL PUT AN IMAGE ICON ON A JLABEL HERE
          display.setVisible(true);
               // I WILL NEED A DELAY HERE
          test.instance();
}The problem I am having is that the JPanel is not being displayed. I will also need a way to create a delay, I know that I can't just use Thread.sleep(5000); because the JPanel will require the thread to be running in order to display the panel.
Does anyone know how I could get my JPanel to display and somehow insert a delay before test.instance();?
Thanks.

I made my own a few days before for a database program. It can be easily done with Threads.
I recommend you create a new class to be used as the spalsh screen , it has to extends JFrame and implements Runnable.
I ll give you an example. I used the spash screen to display the screen and also to laod the main GUI form so that when the spash screen dispose, the main GUI form displays instantly, making the user think that the application loads faster.
public void run ()
        try
             this.setVisible(true);
             Thread.sleep(2000);
             // sets the menu visible before disposing
             guiMenu.setVisible(true);
             // disposes the object and returns the resources to the OS
             this.dispose();
        catch(InterruptedException exception)
            exception.printStackTrace();
// this method must be implement in the class
// that implements Runnable interface
//MAIN
public class Main
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Menu menu = new Menu();
        SplashScreen introScreen = new SplashScreen(menu);
        ExecutorService splashExecutor= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
        splashExecutor.execute(introScreen);
}ExecutorService is a subinterface of Executor that declares methods for managing the threads. It also has the method execute (that provides the Executor interface) which when invoked calls the method public void run() of the argument class that must implement Runnable.
Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1); creates a poll consisting of a 1 thread which is been used by splashExecutor to execute the Runnable.
Hope i've been of some assistance!

How to create a full screen Air Application with pdf

Hi,
I need to create a app in full screen which can load pdf files.
I read that the pdf files need to have the nativeWindows in normal mode, and "stage.scaleMode" in "StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE" mode to run.
So I get the HTMLLoader dimensions by getting the screen resolution. But by putting "StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE" my movie up and down the pdf is not resizing!!
How can I do to see the pdf and having the asssets (movies in my library) resize too?

Create a splash screen

is there a way of implementing a splash screen without using threads
and would this be negative for ur sistem performance?

when you are using swing or awt, you are using threads and it is a good idea to be aware of that. Read the swing and awt tutorials about this topic.
However, there is no need to create additional threads for a splash screen: Just create the screen (e.g. as a JDialog) and set it visible. Then do your other initialisation work, and if you are ready to display the application, dispose the splash screen dialog. Because AWT and SWING are multithreaded (however not always thread save!), they will paint your dialog in the event handling thread while your main thread is doing more initialisation or whatever else (may be just waiting).

How Disable Network Magic Splash Screen?

Can someone please walk me through the steps to disable the Network Magic startup splash screen? I purchased the software a few years back and saw a message how to do it. I did it, and it worked a treat...until a recent glitch on my computer forced a major restore, which brought the splash screen back. Now I (of course) forget how I disabled it in the registry. I know this question is small potatoes compared to the major probs others here are having, but I'm hoping someone'll still give me a bit of help.
Solved!

Hi Chris,
I am responding from Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 w/ Internet Explorer 7 installed on FAT32 File System.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Network Magic Version 4.9.8225.0-Pure0
Unfortunately, while this installation is still unactivated, having just reinstalled it, I have not experienced the Network Magic Splash Screen.
My copy is set up for Network Reports as well as starting up at bootup. It has FullAccess going through my McAfee Personal Firewall.
I have seen the Splash Screen you are referring to. It was seen when the Network Magic License Servers were down or Network Magic was not set up, right after it was installed. You need to set up Network Magic right after you install it, before you reboot. You don't need to activate it right away.
Uninstall Network Magic. Reboot. Reinstall Network Magic while it is connected to the Router and configured it, then reboot.

How to create the selection screen dynamically

Hi,
I have a requirement to create the selection screen Dynamically. All the fields that should appear on the selection screen will be available in a custom table. So, based on the entries available in the Z tables, the selection screen should be built. Eg. If there are 10 records available in the Z table, the selection screen should consist of 10 fields. If there are 100 entries, the Selection screen should contain 100 fields. and the logic to build this selection screen should be carried out dynamically in the program.
Could anyone of you please share the valuable inputs on this. If anyone has the sample code to do this, please share.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paddu.

Hi,
Kindly go through this sample program below:
DEMO_LIST_FORMAT_INPUT *and
