AdWhirl blocks UIBarButtonItem taps until ad is loaded

[Jay Q.]

Hi

I'm using UITabBarController and have added adwhirl as a subview to it
in my appdelegate. I do this so a single Ad bar is shown accross all
tab screens. This works fine.

I have a UIBarButtonItem on the top of one of the screens which has an
action to call a modal screen when tapped. The problem is that
I'm unable to press that button unless an ad is retrieved in adwhirl.
It seems as almost adwhirl blocks that button or at least that screen
while retrieving an ad. I am however able to switch through different
tabs with no problems even if ads are not loaded.

I'm hoping someone out there has the answer to this i've been pulling
my hair for 2 days now.

I have the same problem. Anyone?

Not too sure if this works, but can you set the adView to hidden or set its frame to CGRectZero (or some other similar mechanism) and still request ads?
