Any alternative to Flash progress bar?

I was wondering if anyone knows of an alternative to the
Flash Player progress bar (javascript would be acceptable)? Or
would I have to import a project into Flash to have this feature.
What I envision would be text to the effect of "slide x of
xx" or something like that. A method of telling the student that
they are a specific number of slides into a lesson that has a total
number of slides in the lesson.
I seem to remember that quiz slides have something like this.
This is probably something for my wish list.

Is it possible to resume play from any point on the progress bar in FLV player

Is there a way to allow a user to move playhead to any point on the progress bar (including much ahead of the loaded portion of the movie) and resume play from there?
Presently a user can skip ahead only as far as the download happened.
Just in case there is no conflict with my set up, here is the code I have:
import fl.video.VideoProgressEvent;
stop();
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_GoBackToHowTo2);
function onClick_GoBackToHowTo2(event:MouseEvent) :void {
          gotoAndPlay("howto");
SWF_flv2.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,stopF2);
function stopF2(e:Event):void{
SWF_flv2.stop();
SWF_flv2.closeVideoPlayer(1); // actually, you can execute this after the stream completes, too so there's no need to check.
          play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Play);
          function onClick_Play(event:MouseEvent) :void {
                    SWF_flv2.play();
SWF_flv2.addEventListener(VideoProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progressF);
function progressF(e:VideoProgressEvent):void{
if(e.bytesLoaded == e.bytesTotal){
trace(e.bytesLoaded,e.bytesTotal);
SWF_flv2.play();
SWF_flv2.activeVideoPlayerIndex=1; //this assigns the player index
SWF_flv2.visibleVideoPlayerIndex=1; //this assigns the player index
SWF_flv2.source = sourceVar; //source must come after assigning the index/s
SWF_flv2.play(); //starts buffering the sourceVar
SWF_flv2.stop(); //starts buffering the sourceVar

Besides kglad's excellant response, there is also the option to use "http pseudostreaming".
This will also give you the ability to "seek" to sections of a video file which are not yet downloaded. It is typically cheaper than using FMS or RED5, but still may require that you have a dedicated server account (which is much more expensive than a shared server account). But check with your Web host, some offer pretty good options for enabling http pseudostreaming:

Flash Player & Flash progress bars problem

Hi.
I'm rather desesperate here. I have the latest version of Flash Player with the latest version of Mozilla Firefox (3.5.3). Wherever I try to upload a file on a website that uses a Flash component to show the progress, it simply goes up to 100% under a second for a 15MB file. This is my latest Speedtest.net :
http://www.speedtest.net/result/574890835.png
It's IMPOSSIBLE to upload anything over 2MB instantly with that kind of connection. Even if it's a really good one.
I've tried anything and everything; even a reformat (two weeks or so ago) and it did NOT solve the problem. So, I'm pretty sure that the problems lies in either one of those software/code :
- HTML 5
- Flash Player
I don't know if you guys can solve the problem but I just hope you can. It's really annoying because a majority of file-hosting websites use Flash-based uploaders. I've been in multiple forums in search for help but nobody seems to be able to solve my problem and in which seem to be unique. The problem also occurs and Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome on my end. So, my problem isn't browser specific. The problem also occurs on Windows 7 RC.
My (modest) machine :
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
2 GB of DDR2 667MHz Ram
nVidia GeForce 8500GT 512MB
~1.3TB of Hard drive (across 4 hard drives)
Windows Vista Home Premium FR (Genuine) & Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) [dual-boot]
Thank you for your help in advance.

Please help!
If you want more details, please, ask them to me!

Mail Progress Bar

I recently upgraded an iMac to Tiger. In Panther, my Mail application displayed a progress bar when forwarding e-mails with attachments. I can't seem to get the progress bar to display in Tiger. Any suggestions?

The progress bar you are referring to was removed with Tiger Mail.

TS1884 What if the Safe Boot progress bar stops (around the 25%-30% mark)? Any other alternatives I have to get my MAcBook Pro to boot without running into an error?

Hi,
after starting my MacBook Pro I was faced with a grey screen stating that "an error has occurred, you need to restart your computer". I did that multiple times but the same message appeared each time. So I started the Safe Boot. Now the progress bar is stuck at the 25-30% progress mark since 30 min. Any advise on what to do from here?
Any help and advise is much appreciated!

I doubt that shutting it off will do any harm but don't do it too often.
Here is the best advice I can find for you:

Custom "Draggable" progress bar in Flash

I have created a custom skin for a Flash video that I wish to use. I currently have a shape tween within an MC that acts as the progress bar for the Flash video. Is there code that will allow me to click and drag that shape tween and control the movie? My movie is embedded within my flash not streamed. Is this possible, or if anyone knows of any good tutorials that would help me achieve this that would be great.
Cheers-
Graeme

you can use any scrollbar tutorial. instead of scrolling the _x or _y property of a movieclip, you'll be scrolling through the frame numbers that span the timeline that contains your video.
to look for a tutorial specific to your situation, try using google to search for "flash scrollbar timeline"

Progress Bars in Flash

Hi, I'm pretty much a novice at this- so am completely
baffled by what to do...
Basically, I have a seies of pictures and captions that I
want to make a flash progress loading bar to go before.
I've looked at the demo and online files- and, have managed
to get a bar working. However, when I implement my existing swf
file as the contentPath, it loads, but only shows the final image,
and wil not navigate through the others.
I have used the template for a photo slideshow in Flash 8,
which I have edited with my own graphics, and exported this to the
swf file that I have been trying to use.
Any ideas- this is driving me mad- especially as I don't
completely "get" flash yet...
thanks!!

I think you are saying you are using the Flash 8 Photo
SlideShows template and trying to customize it with a preloader.
I took a look at the code inside of it and here are some
comments to consider.
The problem with that is you would likely need to use the
first frame or first three frames depending on the preloader
solution. Preloaders need to be lightweight and before the heavy
content.
This would mean all the picture layer frames would need to
move right. The Actionscript in the template uses a function called
_currentframe for the image number in the controller. So that
Actionscript would need changing to handle the frame number offset
for example if you move everything to start at frame 4 all the
scripts need to add 4 to where _currentframe is used.
So if you are comfortable with dealing with the Actionscript
updates and getting the movie to work starting on a frame greater
than 1, then you can pursue a preloader.
A preloader would be necessary if you think the time it takes
for the first frame to show is too long and that the user would be
quick to click the forward button to go to additional frames before
the bitmaps are downloaded. Otherwise the preloader need may be
unnecessary because all the remaining frames will be progressively
downloaded while the visitor is looking at the first image.

Problem using a Flash MX 2004 Progress Bar Component within a Movieclip

I'm try to setup a progress bar to show the percentage loaded
of a mp3 audio file using the Flash MX 2004 Progress bar component.
I can get the progress bar to the work normally by the having the
component on the stage (not in a movie clip) with the component set
to:
mode: polled
source loader
with the following actionscript on the layer above:
pBar.setStyle("themeColor", 0xFF0000);
var loader:Object = new Sound();
loader.loadSound("http:/www.mywebsite.co.uk/mymp3.mp3",
true);
But I won't to put the preloader inside a Movie Clip (the
movie clip is called 'content_MC') as the website has alot of
content. When I do this the mp3 file still streams but the Progress
Bar doesn't work.
I think I just need to change the action script so that it
links with the component telling it to calculate the progress of
the audio streaming file.
Am I right? Where am I going wrong?

I found the problem!!
While exploring the Fireworks MX 2004 folder located under
"C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Macromedia\"
folder I discovered that this folder was empty. So, I connected the
old hard drive and investigated the contents of the corresponding
folder on that drive. Discovering the wide assortment of files and
folders in that folder, I simply copied the contents of that folder
to the Fireworks MX 2004 folder and retried running the application
and IT WORKED!
Thanks for all your communications and in depth
troubleshooting steps, I will keep them in may Application
troubleshooting Tool Tips for future reference. I have included the
actions used here which brought about the successful resolution of
this issue so that if you'd like you might include them in any Help
Desk Methods you may have. It was truly a collaborative effort
because I would not have thought to explore the Application Data
folder to resolve this issue without you pointing me in that
direction.
Thanks again!

Flash Player 9 and Progress Bar Component

Can someone have a look at this:
http://www.adobe.com/go/6a620259
and tell me if there is any solution?
Thanks in advance
RC

As of this date, iI still have not found a solution to this
problem. In, general I have had bad experiences using the loader
component in conjunction with the progress bar component. By itself
the loader component works fine (loading movie clips, swf's, etc..)
but I have found that if you want a truly reliable progress bar,
you need to make your own. I would advise against using the one
built into flash 8. Maybe eventually, adobe will get around to
addressing the issue with some sort of workaround or update, but I
think in the meantime, we are on our own (and will probably have to
wait until Flash 9).
If you figure anything out, please share your info with me
and good luck hunting!

ITunes Store - Will not go beyond the dashed progress bar, will also freeze any outside Internet activity

Alright, I've read numerous discussions and have tried to find an answer and have come up with zilch. Here's what's happening:
I open iTunes, and it attempts to connect to the iTunes store (presumably to update the Cloud). When it does this, it remains on the dashed progress bar. While attempting to connect, it will also freeze any other Internet applications, specifically any pages open in my browser (Chrome). I'm not sure why this is, I haven't seen anything on that subject. However, if I click the (x) next to the progress bar to tell it to stop, it will do so and I can listen with ease. Now, I'd actually like to use the iTunes Store, but whenever I do, it never gets anywhere. I get the dashed progress bar, which on occassion will move on to the solid progress bar, but it will completely freeze from there. I have tried doing the winsock reset, looking for conflicting programs with LSP, reinstalling, updating, none work. After running the network connectivity diagnostics, iTunes determines that everything is good except that a secure link to the iTues store failed. This led me to believe that there was a firewall of sorts that was blocking it. After adding iTunes to the list of exceptions to Windows Firewall, the same results were thrown back at me. I do not have any other programs that would block it (that I know of).
Please help? I just want to buy an album all legal-like.

Progress Bar freeze after 4.2.1 Update - any news?

Hey Guys,
any news on the progress par freeze after the installation of 4.2.1 on the iPad?
After a horrible 8 hours(!) Backup phase, my iPad 3G 32 Gigabyte freezes after the progress bar reaches 80%. I tried to do a hard reset but it would just stuck at the same stage again after rebooting. My iPhone 4 synced just fine (5min. Backup-Phase to the max) and runs 4.2.1 without any hiccups. But the iPad, being once the love of my life, drives me MAD!!!!!
What did you do? Try to sync it again or just wait some days until the progress bar advances? I`m fed up with OS Updates for now... HEEEELLLLPPP!

Well, that didn't work. But in the process I cleaned up the folders that house my iTunes movies and music get rid of dupes, stuff I didn't want, and so on. However, I did find that I forgot to uninstall WiFi Sync before trying the upgrade. I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it, rebooted, and did the upgrade. Now my iPad is back. I hadn't realized that I had to uninstall WiFi Sync to upgrade the iPad.....

Adding a download progress bar to a flash output

I have the CS4 production premium package. I made a flash based web page to function like my DVD project by "building" the project in Encore which creates the page along with the referenced flash video files without having to know action script. I was wondering if there is an easy way to include a download progress bar in the flash output? If it is not possible to add a download progress bar directly by changing some option before I "build"/export the project from Encore, is there a snippet of code I could insert in one of the files after it has been created so a progress bar is added to the video? Here is a link to the page I created. If you click the "TQ4" button you will notice that there is no download progress bar that is visible when the controls are showing.
www.philadelphiaphilms.com/TQ4_web_DVD/index.html

There's no easy way, no.
It may be possible to do this in Flash if you built your own custom player, but you'd essentially have to reverse engineer your Encore Flash output (no small task).
If you have access to a Flash Media Server, you might want to consider the streaming output option, which avoids downloading issues entirely.
