Splash2

Description

Creates and displays a splash window. Not available for screen savers. Unlike the SplashWnd object, this splash window object will run in a new thread; that is to say, even if the main program has been blocked by a time costing operation. For example, if the output executable file of swfkit has a lot of resource files packed in it, the ``getAdditionalFile'' method in the ``initialize'' script will take to long time to extract the resource files. Before all the resource files have been extracted, the main program will be blocked. If you use the SplashWnd object to create a splash window before the ``getAdditionalFile'' method, the splash window will also be blocked; however, if you use Splash2 object instead, the splash window will not be blocked.

available: SWFKit Pro

Parameters
