Can I remove the startup progress bar from a Flex app?

Hey all,
I have built a few charts for my companies' website: http://www.midwestmarket.org/page/Area+Control+Error
On all of them, I have noticed that there's a delay of 3 or 4 seconds from the time the page loads, a progress bar shows, and then the graph is actually shown.
The charts in question are all Flex 3 builder built, and I am upgrading now to Flash 4 builder. But, still I see the progress bars.
I know that Fusion Charts doesn't have this same startup routine, those charts pop right up as soon as the site is loaded. Now Fusion is of course build to JUST be a chart tool and probably doesn't load as much stuff. But, is it possible to get there with Flash 4 builder?

hi,
With flashbuilder you first need to load the swf, then it creates the display objects this is what the loadbar is there for, if you have embedded assets then that bar will stay even longer. Once the application creation sequence is complete the displaybar disappears and then your application is displayed.
Now imagine removing that bar, on a slow connection with a 'large' app, the user would be faced with a blank screen for several seconds, not the desired end-user experience we are after.
You can make it more interesting by customising the pre-loader with say a company splash screen which offers a more visually appealling startup
this is a simple example of a custom preloader, source is included

One quick note with preloaders there is no flex sdk at that point so preloaders have to comply with the immediate requirements of the flashplayer api. So basically on flash components.

  • How can I remove the Loading Progress Bar that pops-up at the bottom of the screen and relocates its self every time i try to mouse over it ?

    I noticed that the latest beta of Firefox has brought a new feature, namely that grey box that pops up when you load a new page and displays the progress : loading... transferring .. and so on. I find that very annoying. How can I remove it ?
    I have tried from the Customize panel... but I haven't found anything related to that.

    @cor-el: Thank you for your help. Got the issue fixed.
    For those who are interested in a quick fix for this, go under (user profile depending on what OS you are using)\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\chrome , create a css file named userChrome.css (you have an example there... ) and paste in this code :
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
    #statusbar-display { display: none !important; }
    Not sure if it's really correct, but it removed that annoying Status-bar, so I'm satisfied with it.

  • Is there a plug-in or a way to remove the green progress bar from the address bar/AwesomeBar?

    Much as I love Firefox, I'm not overly enamoured with the wee green progress bar that's integrated into the awesomebar in 5. As I have Status-4-Evar installed, I really don't need it, and I find it kinda ugly, to be honest.
    Are there any plug-ins or preference options to make it go away, or am I stuck with it until my brain just learns to ignore it?

    Use the options in Status-4-Evar, on the "Progress" tab, uncheck "Show progress in the Location Bar". There is now an icon "S4E" on the location bar or use the options through the add-ons manager.

  • Removing the Vertical scroll bar from the content area.

    Hello,
    Is there a way to remove the vertical scroll bar from the content area?
    I am trying to create a new light portal frame work.
    Everything works fine except that I see two vertical scroll bars, one from the content area and another from the page(frame).
    Thanks in advance.
    -Sudheer

    Hi
    There are a couple of ways in which to achieve this
    1) Try and make the content flat. What I mean by this is that the content area (when using the standard light framework) doesn't contain an iframe, meaning that the iview defined on the page has "EMBEDDED" isolation mode. This should mean that you only have one scrollbar (if the content extends past the size of the browser)
    2) If you need to make the iview URL isolation, then try and get the domain of the content to be of a similar domain to your portal server, i.e. your portal is portal.company.com and the content is content.company.com. In this way you can make the pages expand.
    NOTE: One thing to note is that when using URL isolation iviews doesn't allow the automatic expanding of the iframe content. This is because the standard javascript doesn't allow this. Therefore you may have to write your own javascript function (or content area page) to do this
    I hope this helps

  • How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4?

    I recently purchased a second hand iphone4 not jailbroken and i already restored it to factory settings but i can't log in to icloud using my account because it states that  "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone". How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4? Hope someone could help me on this. Cheers! :)

    Hi,
    My dad gave me his old iphone as he got an upgrade. I can't seem to change his icloud account to mine. I'm getting his updated calender and his mail - and there seems to be some confusion between both our accounts. He seems to be acquiring some of my contacts - some of which have names which have led to some probing questions... So basically this needs to be sorted out! How can i delete his account from the iphone but not his whole icloud account? he would not be happy if i did this...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can I REMOVE the Yahoo! tab from the menu bar? Each time I open Firefox, I get the gialogue box asking if I want to make yahoo the default and each time I respond no and check the do not ask this question again.

    I am tempted to remove Ff4 and revert to 3.X if I cannot fix this problem. The question (statement) has all pertinent details already included

    '''Hello peacefultrev,'''
    I believe from your question you wish to remove the window title-bar, while keeping the menu bar available.
    I have two solutions for you to try. One requires no plugin and the other requires the installation of a plugin.
    '''No plugin option:'''
    This option hides the the window title while also removing the menu bar. The menu bar can then be reactivated and viewed simply by pressing "Alt" which shows the menu bar until you click away from it. To do this:
    # Right click on the tab bar and disable "Menu Bar".
    # Whenever you which to use the menu bar, tap "Alt" on your keyboard.
    # When you click away from the menu bar the windows title will disappear until you tap "Alt" again.
    '''Plugin Option:'''
    You can download this plugin called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ Hide Caption Titlebar Plus] which can be customized to suit your needs. I cannot provide support on this plugin as I have not used it myself.
    I hope one of these solutions will suit your needs.

  • Can I remove the skip links piece from a WebCenter Portal Application?

    We have a better skip links implementation we would like to use. How can I turn off the default? Not simply hide it, but rather not render it at all period.  This goes the same for the noscript piece that says JavaScript is required to run the Application.  I also have a better solution I would like to use so I would also ask how do I disable the noscript piece. Do I need to edit some xml file or something? I search my application for "noscript" and "af:skipLinkTarget" and I can't find either one. How can I remove/disable these features. They are just not appropriate for this particular application. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi.
    Are you using Portal or Framework Portal?.
    In case of <noscript> is generated by JAVA internal classes and the unique way to change the message is with a Non supported workaround overriding a CoreBundle class.
    About the af:skipLinkTarget usually is in the Page Template. The default templates has it in next snippet:
    <f:facet name="center">
        <af:skipLinkTarget>
        <af:facetref facetname="content">
        </af:facetref>
      </af:skipLinkTarget>
    </f:facet>
    If you're using default Templates then copy them and remove the af:skipLinkTarget tag from the copied one and assign it to the Portal.
    I hope it helps.
    Regards.

  • How can I stop the Add-on Bar from appearing everytime a new tab or window is opened?

    I close it each time, and I have also removed it by unchecking it in the toolbar (or similar) menu. However, it always reappears whenever I open a new tab or re-open Firefox. How can I get rid of it unless I choose for it to become present again?

    Right-click the "+" tab and deselect the Add-on Bar entry tick. The Add-on Bar should then disappear for the remainder of the session but will reappear when you restart Firefox. If you want to permanently remove the Add-on Bar then a different approach must be used, using a modified userChrome.css file.

    IF you cannot pull it out with your finger tips, you need to take the machine in for service to an Apple Store or AASP. Doing this type of work yourself could seriously damage the computer so it's best left to professionals.

  • How can I remove google custom search bar from about:newtab page

    When I open Firefox or a new tab I have it set to about:newtab which is great and all. Just recently I noticed a Google search bar on the new tab page though, that it immediately sets my cursor to. I prefer typing in the normal address bar at top. If I don't think to take that extra tedious step to click on the address bar before typing it opens to Google Custom Search Engine. Which does not have the images, maps, etc tabs along top. Making a simple task of researching something or other purpose just that much more annoying to do, because I'll have to type into the address bar anyways.
    So I was hoping there is a way to remove this annoying Google Custom Search Bar from my about:newtab?
    Or at the least make my cursor start in the address bar, not the Google Custom Search Bar.
    This is a screen-cap of the Search Bar. http://gyazo.com/d75ccdea9b9d0bb4a3d347664be73771
