copied!<p>Well i actually managed to get the desired behavior. Your comments were useful though.</p> <p>Here's how. I implemented a custom preloader for my application, and in the constructor of the preloader I loaded an image (read: screenshot) of my application in a disabled state (so that user won't want to interact with it). I used the SnapShot Demo from this link - <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2010/01/custom_preloader_downloadprogr.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2010/01/custom_preloader_downloadprogr.html</a></p> <p>Here's the code that I wrote for the preloader (most of is is from the link below, a cut version):</p> <p>package {</p> <pre><code>import flash.display.Bitmap;
