Ted Patrick just shareda custom preloader component that would make your flex application have a more of a desktop appliaction feel when it loads (splash screen).

You can use png,gif, jpg or swf for the preloader.

Unlike many other things in Flex when it comes to customization, implementing this custom preloader is very easy and straightforward. Basically you just need to add the whole package (available for download from Ted's blog) then add the attribute for preloader inside your Application tag. You can literally implement this in 1-2 minutes.

Here's the link to the blog entry where you can also download the component.
