Set "Loading" screen background color on Flex

If I had a nickel for every time I've looked at a Flex application these days and seen that dull, default greyish blue color...

So here's my tip for the day:

Check out the compiler arguments line in the Flex properties and add

-default-background-color #PUTYOURCOLORHERE

Easy to do, and then your Flex apps won't look like everyone else's anymore :-)

More compiler arguments are available if you'd like to get frisky...

And better yet, check out Ted Patrick's blog on creating custom preloaders and be a real rock star.

I wonder why people don't do this, even some of the pro apps don't ... yahoo web messenger is one example

you actually don't even need to set the compiler argument ... just set the backgroundColor of the Application tag and that would work, the backgroundColor is necessary even if you set backgroundGradientColors

The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels - never saw this before. Tried returning for exchange and had to put up quite a fight. Anyone else seen this?
Verizon is about the only place you can get the authentic RIM product and matching door. Most other sites are out of stock and even when they are in stock they have the black battery door which looks like crap. http://www.batteryeshop.com
I tested this camera for a client. I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging.
