Dynamic control of progress bar component

Hello, I'm trying to use a load progress bar component to
appear as .swf files are loaded into a blank movie symbol when
users click on a button. What script can I use to connect the
progress bar, button, and the empty movie clip?

You can use the progress bar Component as a preloader of
sorts, but this doesn't work very well within the same document.
The best way to go about doing this is to create a 'loading' swf
file, that is the same size as the swf your main swf, then make an
empty MC and load the swf into it and you can then use the progress
bar Component to display the loading (or any number of other visual
indicators) loading is best done using the MovieClipLoader class,
where you can use it's event handlers and methods to effect the
progress indicator, however the pbar Component has these handler
built in as well so in this case for simplicity I'll use the
loadMovie method (I rarely do) So with a swf the same size as the
one you want to load, place a pbar instance on the stage with the
instance name of 'my_pb', and create an 'actions' layer and add
this code to the first frame:

Question about plugging in an ajax progress bar component onto a black-box.

Hello,
I have the following problem: I want to integrate an ajax progress bar component to a j2ee application and I am in reference to the following pattern (https://bpcatalog.dev.java.net/nonav/ajax/progress-bar/design.html). It seems I need for the "task" component to return the percent. The problem I have is that I am calling a legacy method (i.e. as400) that does not return a percent as it is to me only a black-box. Here is a snippet of what it looks like to me:
      AS400 sys = new AS400("AS400D.calyonfinancial.com");
       sys.setUserId("jmartin");
       sys.setPassword("jmartin");
       CommandCall cmd = new CommandCall(sys);
       cmd.run("my as400 command goes here");
       AS400Message[] messageList = cmd.getMessageList();
       for (AS400Message msg : messageList) {
           System.out.println(msg.getText());
       sys.disconnectService(AS400.COMMAND);At best I can know whether or not it is completed.
void actionCompleted(ActionCompletedEvent event) //Invoked when an action has completed.What do you advise I do bearing in mind I want to avoid using an indeterminate progress bar??
Thanks in advance,
Julien Martin.

That's not a legacy method. The latest version of JTOpen was issued less than a month ago. And note that it's open-source, so you could change it yourself to provide percent-complete data. (Of course you'd have to be able to get that data from the underlying iSeries command.)
It wouldn't be easy, but if you think about it for a minute you'll realize that you can't display percentage complete in a progress bar unless you have some way of finding out what percentage the task has actually completed.

Progress Bar component

I have used the UI progress bar component in Flash CS3 AS2.
For some reason the progress bar appears to work fine, when it gets
to 100% it loads the movie about 3/4 way down the timeline. Its
almost like the movie itself is playing behind the progress bar.
Help! Thanks!

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!

Reusing progress bar component?

I'm trying to reuse the progress bar component and it seems to not be responding. I'm can set the value to zero but everytime I try to do anything else it always sets the progress to 100%?
progress_ldr[file.name].name_txt.text = "Resizing-" + file.name;
   //progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.reset;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.source = null;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.mode = ProgressBarMode.MANUAL;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.minimum = 0;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.maximum = 100;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.value = 0;
   progress_ldr[file.name].progress_bar.setProgress(50, 100);

Need progress bar component help.

I have a huge headache from doing hours of web searching for

URGENT : Progress Bar component start showing too late

I'm using the ProgressBar component in a large movie
containing a lot of objects, images ecc ...
In the first frame i've put a ProgressBar component managed
by the following ActionScript code :
stop();
listener = {path:this};
listener.complete = function()
this.path.play();
pr_main.mode = "polled";
pr_main.source = _root;
pr_main.addEventListener("complete", listener);
where pr_main is the instance name of the ProgressBar.
Well, when i try to simulate Download, i have to wait like
4-5 seconds for the bar to appear and when it happens, the bar
shows that the loading is already at about 50%, and after it starts
to work correctly.
Why i'm experiencing this behaviour ?
Thanx to all

>>In the first frame i've put a ProgressBar component
That's the problem. To use the component is has to first
fully load.

Progress bar in ADF

Hi,
I am trying to use a progress bar in a web page. After a user enters his log in details, the progress bar should display the status of the page being loaded.
Can anyone help me in implementing this using ADF progress bar component?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, of course there is a difference between af:progressBar and af:statusIndicator, otherwise, why would Oracle have made two components?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16162_01/apirefs.1112/e17491/toc.htm would be the place to read about them
And no, af:statusIndicator does not show you the progress of the page loading - as I've said already, I don't think there is any way you will be able to do that.

Progress bar completion function

How do we control the progress bar completion functions @ the end of the pages, so they reflect reasonably correct amounts?

For single page forms we never show progress
For multiple page forms the first page always shows 0% and we don't show progress on the last page. For the pages in between we take the number of questions completed on the previous pages and divide by the total number of questions in the entire form to get the percentage for the current visible page.
Hope that explains this better.

Horizontal progress bar with interpolate color

Looking for a control "horizontal progress bar" with interpolate color and markers like control "meter"

If I get this right - you are looking for a progress bar that changes colour as the number changes. You can set the colour of the progress bar using property nodes. I have included a VI here that I used for testing this. This VI changes the colour from green to red as the progress bar advances. Colours are stored as 3 bytes: Red, Green and Blue.
I hope that this helps.

Progress bar in a JProgressBar component is not always drawn

Hi experts,
I have a strange issue with a swing application. This app contains of a JFrame including a JTable. This table has multiple columns, one of them is a JProgressBar (implementing a TableCellRenderer). Multiple background threads are running, every of them updates one row's progress bar via the InvokeLater() method. This works fine.
At a specific point within the runtime of the application, the value of a progress bar is set back to 0, and instead of the default percentage text a custom string is displayed (then continuing to progress with this custom text set). This works fine as well.
Problem is, that when a custom string is set to one progress bar as described above, then the bars of the other JProgressBars are not painted any more. But the default percentage text of these other JProgressBars are still incremented and painted correctly. When the one progress bar, that has the custom string set, has finished and this row is removed from table, then the other progress bars are again painted correctly (including the default percentage text).
A part of the custom TableCellRenderer class is shown here:
     public class ProgressRenderer extends JProgressBar implements TableCellRenderer
     public ProgressRenderer()
          super(SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL);
          setBorderPainted(false);
          setStringPainted(true);
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
          boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
          if(value != null)
               setValue(((JProgressBar) value).getValue());
               setString(((JProgressBar) value).getString());
               setMinimum(((JProgressBar) value).getMinimum());
               setMaximum(((JProgressBar) value).getMaximum());
          return this;
...Any ideas what could be wrong here?
I am really out of ideas here :(
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards, Matthias

I have solved the problem:
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
          boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
          if(value != null)
               setString(((JProgressBar) value).getString());
               setMinimum(((JProgressBar) value).getMinimum());
               setMaximum(((JProgressBar) value).getMaximum());
               setValue(((JProgressBar) value).getValue());
          return this;
     }

Is there any component like percentage indicator not progress bar in Flex ?

Hi All,
I have to display a percentage value in a graphical way.( for example say 75% , a tube similar to progress bar which has a fill up to 75 % )
Is there any such component in flex or can I use progress bar ? please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Tc.

You want to use a determinate ProgressBar with mode set to manual:
   <mx:ProgressBar id="progressBar" minimum="0" maximum="100" mode="manual"
       label="0%" labelPlacement="bottom">
   </mx:ProgressBar
Then use setProgress( %, 100 ) to set the percentage:
// set the progress to 10 of 100 (10%)
progressBar.setProgress( 10, 100 );
Let me know if that does the trick.

Dynamic Progress Bar

I'm creating a page-turning module. Throughout the module
there is a progress bar that updates both visually and by
percentage how much of the module has been completed. I'm not sure
how to program this and help is appreciated. As you can see by the
mockup I have so far ( below) I've got the progress bar drawn and
the percentage completed as well as a dynamic text f ield. What I'm
wondering is how to make it update as the user goes forward (the
only direction they can go) through the frames.
http://distance.uaf.edu/mockup/FERPA-mockup-1.html
thanks!
sage

well, you could get the percentage by dividing current pages
they have been through by the total quantity of pages in the doc
and multiply by 100. And if this is more dynamic (pages get added
or taken out) but it's based on 'one frame per page' then you could
use the _currentframe and _totalframes, within the same type of
formula to derive the progress percentage.
you can then advance the 'bar' by: first drawing a bar that
fills the whole area, at 100%, make it a moive clip, then using the
calculation you decide on to obtain the percentage, you can use the
_xscale property, on the 'bar' to scale it to the current
percentage of progress (set it to 0 at the start).
