Changing progress bar colour in AS3

I've spent hours trawling through documentation and googling,
but I can't find any way to change the progress bar colour from a
script using AS3. In AS2, it was easy, I just used
myprogbar.setStyle("themeColor", "0xff0000");
but this no longer seems to work in AS3 and none of the
styles in the ProgressBar class seems to relate to the bar colour.
I need to be able to change the colour dynamically, so setting it
permanently when I create the object is no good. This should be
easy, am I missing something simple here ?

All of the apps use shared code for the interface.
And no, it doesn't bother me.

Indesign CC Progress Bar Colour

Hi
This will probably seem like a trifling issue, and it probably is, but it does bug me a little..
Loving the new dark UI in Indesign CC, but when I open a document I end up doing a double take that I've used the right app...
The progress bar that comes up is a dark grey dialog with an 'Illustrator-Orange' bar, so even though I'm opening an INDD, I momentarily question if I opened it in Illustrator by mistake
As Illustrator is heavily themed with that colour, it would seem to me that interface elements InDesign should be a shade of purple to make it clear what app the dialog relates to - or at least white / grey.
Just a thought. Not a biggy, no one's dying because of it, but perhaps worth some consideration from a HCI standpoint...
Does this bug anyone else or is it just me?

Progress bar Fl cs3 as3.0

below is my very simple code to load images from a instance
of button component into an instance of UIloader component.
there are multiple buttons like this one
i can't get it... the way to get progress bar to listen and
respond to the loading of the image
img_02_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2);
function onClick2(event:MouseEvent):void
trace("typeMe");
loaderOne.source = "assets/b300.png";
loaderOne.load();
}

Thanks Jongware I knew it had to be something simple.
Working version:
    var myStop =6;
    var myWindow = new Window ( 'window','Progress');
    var myProgressBar = myWindow.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 350, 24], 0, myStop);
    var myStaticText = myWindow.add('statictext');
    myStaticText.bounds = [0, 0, 340, 20];
    myStaticText.alignment = "left";
function stagesLeft(myText,stageVal){
    if(stageVal == 1){
        myWindow.show();
        myProgressBar.value = stageVal;
        myStaticText.text = myText;
        myWindow.text = 'Stage '+ stageVal + ' out of ' + myStop;
        if(stageVal == 6){
        myWindow.close();
To use the function:
stagesLeft("This is the first stage",1)
then further on in the script when another process is taking place
stagesLeft("Here is stage 2 of this script",2)
etc etc.
Cheers, John.

How do I programmatically change progress bar limit?

Hello all. I have a custom control and one of the indicators is a progress bar. The bar is used to show the position of a life test fixture as the fixture moves up and down. I would like to have the max limit of the bar to be set by the user. The user enters a number and the bar maximum will be that number. That way the bar is more indicative of actual fixture movement. How would I programatically do this?
I read about using the Range property, but I can't seem to access it. Is this because the progress bar is part of the cluster? Would I need to separate the progress bar from the cluster, get the Range property set up, then put the bar back into the cluster?
My problem here is that since this is a custom control, it is set as a typedef, with my vi using 12 copies of it. So if I can't get the typedef to accomplish what I want, I guess I'll have to break the link between the typedef and the vi, go into the vi, and edit all 12 custom controls to do it.

Hi Dhouston
please find the ZIP file attached. somehow i can't upload a VI
Eventhough the cluster is a typdef control, you can still right click the slide inside the cluster and create a property node.
hope this helps

Safari 4 - can I change progress bar?

I'm not a novice internet user by any stretch. I love the new browser, and its increased speed is evident. However, I find myself clicking things more than once because there's no progress bar. I really miss the blue progress bar that filled the url box. I know it's got a tiny spinning wheel, but it's still not curbing my click - click - click... oh, I guess it's just taking a long time loading problem from happening. Is there any way to bring it back?

Klaus1: perhaps I've left out a step.
I, too, would love to get the progress bar back.
I closed Safari, copied the text you provided above into a Terminal window, and restarted Safari 4. Repeated, followed by a reboot. No luck using either procedure--no progress bar upon relaunch.
I have admin rights, and in Terminal I'm at the user prompt (~myname$).
Can you tell if I am missing something?
(I did manage to get the Tweaks menu installed , however. Thanks!)
thank you

Change progress bar gif

Hi. I have a dynamic event with "Submit page" true action. Settings item "Show processing" is "Yes". Page becomes grey-outed and standard progress .gif appears. Apex dynamically adds <div> element with progress .gif on the page (in "waitPopup" function). I thought I could change .gif by adding new true action after the first one with some JS code like that:
document.getElementById('img_progress').src = "#APP_IMAGES#new_preloader.gif";
or
$('# img_progress ').attr('src',' #APP_IMAGES#new_preloader.gif ');
But nothing changes. What did I do wrong ? It's likely that I don't understand DOM. What is the simplest way to change this preloader .gif ?

All your property node writes belong inside cases so they only execute if the input value actually changes. No need to write the same properties over and over. (To see if a value has changed, use a feedback node and compare current to previous).

CHANGE JSCROLLPANE VERTICAL BAR COLOUR

Hello!,
do you know how to change Vertical Bar colour in a JScrollPane?
Thanks!

I think you wantUIManager.put("ScrollBar.thumb", yourColor);before you create the scroll pane. However, other properties ("ScrollBar.background", "ScrollBar.foreground", "ScrollBar.track") might be more what you need.

Centering Dynamically Drawn Progress Bar on Stage

Hi,
I am trying to add a progress bar linked to timer to countup 60 seconds (for an eLearning lesson). Found a good Progress Bar sample in AS3 (http://ammarz.org/stuff/TimedProgressBar.zip) and would like to adapt it to a larger stage (1024 X 768).
Since the project will be deployed as AIR on Android devices, would like to center the progress bar on the stage. Have tried many variations of
xyzprogressbar.x = stage.width/2-progressbar.width/2
xyzprogressbar.y = stage.height/2-progressbar.height/2
with no success.
The following based on the above sample AS3 hard codes the progress bar to center stage for a 1024 X 768 stage:
var dimentions:Rectangle = new Rectangle(362,374,300,20);
drawProgressBar(_drawingCanvas.graphics,dimentions,5,0,0x990000,0xFF9900,0x000000);
But this doesn't solve the problem of centering the progress bar for resized playback on different device screens.
Can someone take a look (adapted sample FLA: http://eLearningprojects.com/ProgressBar.zip), suggest a way to center the bar in AS3 (without hard coding the specific x=362,y=374 dimensions as above)?
Thank you very much for your help.

How to change the size of youtube play/pause and progress bar?

I have windows 8 and on internet explorer (hah), youtube videos play fine there. However, when I use Firefox, the display below videos showing the progress bar and play/pause decreases in size immensely. Is there a solution to this?
This also applies to other videos on websites such as twitch, but not vimeo.
I have tried changing font size to no avail, but I am relatively new to Windows (a Mac convert) and don't know the full options.

I talked to Lenovo support and found the solution! Download the Youtube Center Add on to Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-center/
Then, click "Player" and change the Player Type to HTML5. Go to "Player Size" next (still under Player) and change the default to "Small". It works!
If the other thread didn't get sufficiently solve,d feel free to link to this. I don't want to necro the thread though.
Thanks to jscher2000 though!

Need to make changes to FC load page/progress bar.

Hello,
I have a page built in FC that contains media that requires some time to download (36mb or so) and my client loves everything I have done exept the load page. I have no idea where I need to go to make adjustments to this page. All I want to do is add a background image to let the impatient visitors know that the page they are looking for is loading. I am also curious as to why it takes this page so long to load since the media is not embedded into the swf. The more important question is where I need to go to create a custom layout for the load in page with the white on white progress bar. The page in question is here:
http://www.thealoharadio.com/EPK/Main.html
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank You,
Brett

Short answer is, not in Flash Catalyst right now.
But you can change it in Flash Builder with a little coding.
Here is a good tutorial on creating a custom preloader.

In the course of migration MacBook switched off due to low battery. After recharging progress bar doesn't change.

In the course of migration MacBook switched off due to low battery. After recharging the progress bar doesn't move. How to continue the migration?

I've never seen the Migration Assistant resume from sleep - for that matter I've never seen a computer go to sleep while MA was running. (If there's a next time, don't try this without the computer being plugged in.) You will probably have no choice but quit the migration and start over.
