Default.png can’t be animated, but you can have your first screen in main.lua do animation’s and continue to load in the background while its playing.

No. There is no way to animate anything before the app has loaded.

However, if you have large files or data to load which takes some time, you can do your own animation while it loads in.

  1. User clicks your icon
  2. Default.png launches
  3. While your assets load, calculations are done, etc, animate something.

If the issue is that your app is so large with assets that it takes a while to load up while Default.png is showing there’s little you can do about that. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 10700 reply_id: 39239[/import]
