Problem: have a search form that accepts search criteria. Queries often
take extended amount of time. Want to display a Flash pluging that says
"Searching", while the webapp is querying the Database. Tried hiding &
displaying a panel with the flash plugin on postback...didnt work. Seems
like this is harder than i expected. any tips would be appreciated!

Joshua,

If you are going to use a flash plugin, the the flash plugin should be
the mechanism that submits the query for the search. That way, while you
are waiting for the results, the flash plugin can display something else
while waiting for the results. When the results come back, you should be
able to trigger the browser to display them.

Hope this helps.
