status bar visibility during default / splash image display

i added the statement

display.setStatusBar(display.HiddenStatusBar)

to my application to turn the status bar off and it is working fine. however, when i include a Default.png for a preload / splash image the status bar shows up while the splash screen is displayed. is there anyway to make that disappear for that brief interval?

Where did you add the line to the script? I added it to mine right in the beginning. If you placed it into an event listener that reacts on the start of your app, then I think it is to late. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 785 reply_id: 1619[/import]
