Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile and launch this app in a desktop Flex Project (browser or AIR):

<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
splashScreenMinimumDisplayTime="3000"
splashScreenImage="@Embed('loading.png')">

<s:Image source="@Embed('DSC00049.JPG')" />

</s:Application>

2.
3.

Actual Results:

Normal Flex preloader is shown

Expected Results:

The splash screen image should be shown

Work-around for AIR desktop projects:

1. Add the mobilecomponents.swc in the build path of the project
2. Set explicitly the preloader="spark.preloaders.SplashScreen"

Work-around for Flash web browser projects: Not possible due to hard API dependencies in the SplashScreen class
