Flash bug
This problem is due to a feature in the Flash Player that allows deep-linking in Flash Authoring SWFs. If you label frames on the timeline in the SWF, you can jump to them by putting hash fragments on the URL. This feature is, of course, completely useless for Flex deep-linking as Flex apps only have two frames and there's no way to compute what label to use on the frame.This bug will remain NAB for now. We have made a request for a way to opt out of this feature in future players but it may not happen any time soon. I would probably consider a small bootstrap SWF that loads the main app as my first attempt to workaround this issue. by Apr 19
Re: Tom's latest comment. I'm replying for Nathan as well, since we work on the same project. The preloader does briefly run, the problem is that it doesn't do it until all the frames are loaded. Using a minimum display time isn't what we want- we want the app to show up ASAP, but to show the preloader when possible while loading the rest of the app. Using the minimum display time doesn't solve this problem, just makes it so that the preloader will continue to show even after the rest of the app is ready.
