Preloading image is a great idea, adobe should have something like that in flex sdk.
One question though, can you customize the WheelPreloadingWindow colors?

You can customize anyone of the included preloader windows I wrote.
Since I instansiate the preloader windows from class reference you have 2 options:
1. via public static members (like WheelPreloadingWindow.themeColor). You will have to do
this in a function that executes before the PreloadingImage is create somewhere in your
app like here:
override protected function createChildren():void {

// Call the createChildren() method of the superclass.
super.createChildren();
//add static member initialization here
WheelPreloadingWindow.themeColor = 0×639ABD;
}
There are more customizable properties, see the flex docs or the source.
2. inherit from the Preloader window, change what you want and use this class in the
PreloadingImage.preloaderTitleWindow (class) property
