initial screen for the splash view

[cmcginnis]

We currently have a loading bar that we are using for the application - and it's working great. What we are having an issue with is the first initial load of the splash view. The loading bar that we are using is not exactly heavy-wieght, but over dial-up there is a 8-10 second pause where the application just shows a white screen - then the loading bar comes up. I think flash has something where it will load and show the first frame before continuing on to load the rest of the animation. Is there a way I can do this in Laszlo? Or is there a way we can show the user something immediately and then have the loading bar do it's thing.

It's not the hightest priority, but it would be some nice polish to the app.

Thanks!

Can you do a test: prevent the fonts from being included by not declaring them in the app.

Then compare the delay you mentioned.
