Flex: no progress bar?

I've been doing this for several months now. My flex apps don't show preloaders on many users' computers. I thought it was because I was using BrowserManager, but I have done a few lately without a browser. It works fine on my machine, but then I go to the managers machine and load the page and there is no app, no preinstaller, I stand there like an idiot for about 5 minutes and then it shows up. The average user won't wait long for this. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Today we found out that while the flex app is empty, if you hover over where the flex app should be, it appears immediately, but only until you click on where the flex app will be ... What does it mean?

Apparently, since it waits for showing until you click your mouse, the work I found on the net adds the following:

<body onload="document.getElementById('WeddingBandBuilder').focus()">


Where WeddingBandBuilder is the embedded swf id.

one of the reasons it might work on your machine and not others is because you are using the debug version of flash player to debug your flex app. Then every time you start, you are almost 100% sure that the swf file is not in the cache.

Does the problem persist if you clear the manager cache before launching the application?



From the Adobe website ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=app_container_4.html ) The download progress bar is not displayed if the SWF file is on your localhost or if it is already cached. If the SWF file is not on your localhost and is not cached, a progress bar is displayed if less than 700% of the download is loaded on less than half of the application.

This does not yet 100% explain why it takes 5 minutes to display the progress bar.
