Replace Flex pre-tension bar with an undefined counter?

Question

I have an AS class spinner class that I downloaded from Jake Hawkes ( click here to see how it works ).

I want to replace the flex application preloader with this counter. I previously used custom preloaders, but it was just for editing what already exists. Does anyone know how this spinner.as can be used instead of the loading bar?

EDIT This is an extremely cool user preloader that Im trying to edit (it extends Sprite). View source included: http://blogagic.com/14/the-blogagic-custom-flex-preloader

A bit late, but I just stumbled upon this site. The twist here is flattened pretty well designed and documented.

WindowedApplication has a property preloaderthat you can set for your preloader class. This class should implement IPreloaderDisplay. Google has the answers to this in the best results: http://askmeflash.com/article/7/custom-preloader-progress-bar-flex .
