Qt Splash screen won't disappear

[BokJr]

Hi all,

I have created a splash screen image to show on running of the application I have tried to set it to a timer to automatically disappear but it just stays on screen until i click the centre of the splash screen then it disappears.

can anyone help me? I'm a complete newbie to Qt

@#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include <QSplashScreen>
#include <QTimer>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);

QSplashScreen *splash=new QSplashScreen;
splash->setPixmap(QPixmap("/Users/Marcus/Calc/Images/Optics.jpg"));
splash->show();

MainWindow w;

QTimer::singleShot(2500,splash,SLOT(close()));
QTimer::singleShot(2500,splash,SLOT(show()));
w.show();

return a.exec();

}

Remove line 16. and it should work fine.
