Is it possible to fit 2 progress bars within 1 (more)

hi, I am implemented a client/server which streams music files, and plays them concurrently. I currently have a progress bar which indicates how much of the file has been downloaded.
And I could also have a seperate progress bar indicated how much of the song has been played, but what i would really like to do, is have 1 progress bar, and have 2 actual bars moving inside it (each different colors), one indicated the download percentage (which should always be ahead) and the other indicating how much of the song has played (which will write over the download bar).
Thus i would like to have both bars moving at the same time. I dont think this is possible, but if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

ok...so i got that working, and i am very grateful for your help. but i have ran into another problem:
I want to set the two different progress bars to different colors, so you can distinguish them, so I looked at the API for fillRect says it uses the default color. so i looked in the JProgressBar to see if there is any function to change the color and there wasn't, so i tried g2g.setColor(Color.RED), and i got all these errors:
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: RED

How to add scroll bar within af:showDetail

I have added a af:panelGroupLayout to af:showDetail, and set the "layout" property of the panel group layout out to "scroll". However, the scroll bar still does not show up within af:showDetail. If I set the height for the panel group layout within af:showDetail, then the scroll bar shows. But then it will not stretch vertically upon stretching the dialog vertically. Is it possible to add scroll bar within af:showDetail?
Here's a sample code which I tried -
<*af:panelStretchLayout* id="psl1">
<f:facet name="center">
<*af:showDetail* disclosed="false" id="sd1" disclosedText="Metadata"
undisclosedText="Metadata">
<*af:panelGroupLayout* id="pgl2"
inlineStyle="background-color:White;"
layout="*scroll*">
</panelGroupLayout>
</af:showDetail>
</f:facet>
</af:panelStretchLayout>

Yes, you can try panelStretchLayout as well.
Copy following fragment into an empty <af:document> to see the difference.
<af:form id="f1">
<af:showDetail disclosed="true" id="sd1">
<af:panelStretchLayout id="psl1">
<f:facet name="bottom"/>
<f:facet name="center">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1" layout="scroll">

Displaying Progress Bar

Hello,
I want to display progress bar based on the bytes received from socket. The tutorials and examples show only image loading. Is it possible to display progress bar based on bytes received for socket. If so, can anyone tell me how to do it?
var total_bytes:Number=0;
public function bytesReceived(event:ProgressEvent):void
var bytes_received = event.bytes.loaded;
total_bytes = bytes_received + total_bytes;
Thanks

Use SwingWorker, which is not included in Swing library, but you can find it on http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-swing/SwingWorker.java;

Is it possible to use a progress bar in Photoshop?

Hi,
I'm developing an automation plug-in to Photoshop. It take long time to do the work, I therefore want to start a none modal dialog with a progress bar and a cancel button. I did not find any example of this in the SDK. Is it possible to use any of the functions in the PIProgressSuite.h for this kind of dialog?
Regards,
Mattias

I don't think you will have much luck with the progress suite. It is used for one operation that your plug-in would control. You are probably using multiple Photoshop events and want to sum them up in a progress bar. Ideally you would want a double progress bar, one for the overall progress and one for the step progress. Unfortunately, the progress suite will get reset with each process that Photoshop tries to show progress for. Your best bet is to just use an OS progress bar in your dialog. Figuring out the progress will be dificult.

Progress bars in JTable, is it possible?

Hello. We are currently making an applet giving the user the progress information of his/her downloads. I need to use JTable for this because each client can download/upload more than one file at the same time.
We are targetting an interface similar to Kazaa wherein a progress bar is visible on the row of the downloading item. Therefore, I need to incorporate a small progress bar in a cell in the JTable. Is this possible? How?
I hope someone could help me out on this. I am very new to Swing and Applets (I used mostly JSP with my programs).
Many thanks in advance. =)

Loading dataprovider progress bar possible?

Gidday
I'm loading data out of SQLLite into an array in my AIR app, ready to populate a datagrid once the SELECT hs been successful:
data_grid.dataProvider = new DataProvider(evt.data)
It works really well, but I was wondering if there is a way to display progress?
50 000 rows takes a couple of seconds to populate, and I'm catering for up to 200 000 rows.
Is it possible to directly monitor progress of SELECT queries, and then for Flash to populate a dataProvider, or is it a case of having to split up the query into chunks of say, 10 000 rows, break, update a progress bar, then go back for the next SELECT?
Also - similar topic - is it possible to set up progress for browseForDirectory type operations? I'm loading in large filelists and parsing the file names. I have set up progress tracking once the parsing starts, but cannot seem to do the same after the Event.SELECT listener kicks in, and I run this code in a function:
var f1:Array = d1.getDirectoryListing();
 var len:int = f1.length;
 for(var i:int = 0; i < len; i++) {
 f2.push(f1[i].name); //if current item in f1 array is a file, push it onto the f2 array
 f3.push(f1[i].nativePath);//save location of file
 if (f1[i].isDirectory) {
 gL(f1[i]);
Thanks guys!

you can't display the progress of any single select query. the best you can do is to break the select into several "chunks" or warn the user that your app will be unresponsive for some period of time.
here's the general idea with chunking:
Chunks
For example, if you have a for-loop that takes 10 seconds to execute, your game will appear to freeze for 10 seconds after this loop starts. Nothing will update on stage and nothing will respond to user input. Either you should warn your user before starting that loop or you should break that loop into several smaller chunks that allow visual updates to the user so they do not think your game is broken.
For example, this for-loop that adds odd numbers (and shows the first m odd numbers sum to m*m) freezes my Flash Player for about 9 seconds.
var i:Number;
var n:Number=3000000000;
var s:Number=0;
var startI:Number=1;
var endI:Number=n
var startTime:int=getTimer();
for (i=startI; i<endI; i+=2) {
 s+=i;
// 9 seconds
trace((getTimer()-startTime)/1000,s,n*n/4,s-n*n/4);
The following technique shows how to break this (and any other for-loop) into chunks that allow the Flash Player to update every second.
var i:Number;
var n:Number=3000000000;
var s:Number=0;
var startTime:int=getTimer();
// This is the number chunks into which the previous for-loop will broken. If the // previous for-loop took about 9 seconds, using 10 chunks means there will be updates // about every 0.9 seconds.
var chunks:int=10;
var startI:Number=1;
var endI:Number=n/chunks;
var t:Timer=new Timer(100,1);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,f);
f();
function f(e:Event=null):void {
 for (i=startI; i<endI; i+=2) {
 s+=i;
 trace("stage update",startI,endI,s);
 if (endI<n) {
 t.reset();
 t.start();
 } else {
 trace((getTimer()-startTime)/1000,s,n*n/4,s-n*n/4);
 startI+=n/chunks;
 endI+=n/chunks;

Is it possible to have a progress bar on a J3d-applet?

I wonder if it is possible get a download progress bar to work on a J3d-applet. I have to do this with a JProgressBar, which is a Swing component. I have heard that it is hard to get Swing to work with Java3d. Is this the case?

You can try to add Canvas3D in some container like JFrame, JDialog or what ever you are using and add JProgressBar to that container as well. You may use appropiate layout as well. JProgressBar cannot be a part of your 3D world. But if u want to use simple components like Label or TextFields then u could use Overlay library at j3d.org

Is it possible to integrate chkdsk progress into MDT progress bar screen?

I'm tweaking my custom capture task sequence and want to run chkdsk /F OSdisk after I get a system into WindowsPE environment but before the capture. I'd like to wrap the chkdsk into the MDT window progress bar. Before I jump down a rabbit hole building
from (say the ZTIBackup.wsf) is there a template ZTI I could use that would wrap the progress bar into the MDT window like this: http://hanssontony.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/mdtrealtimeinfo.jpg

Yuck
Could work, oUtility.RunWithConsoleLogging() is designed to auto-process percentages if found in the output stream. *However* not all output streams are created equal. wdsmcast.exe for example outputs a series of Peroid characters to indicate progress (of
course), so there is custom code in MDT to read the dots and calculate the percentages.
The output stream should return the percentages per line, rather than overwriting the console. This is similar to the Imagex.exe "/Scroll" command switch.
I would try to get it working using the RunWithConsoleLogging() command, if it does not work, I would give up.

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:

Is it possible to create a Progress Bar?

Hi All,
Is there any way to create a Progress Bar in a Form?
John

You can create your own progress bar form using Visual Basic. Display your progress bar form with the always on top flag set with an API call.
I've done this and I use it a lot because I have found that there is no other way to indicate to the user that a lengthy process is executing.

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!

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 Bar in Oracle Reports

Is it possible to implement a progress bar that shows how far along the report is in generating?
If so, what is the best way to implement it?
Does anyone have sample code?
Thanks.

Not within reports - if this is possible, you would need to do it in either forms or another application.

Not a preloader bar, but a movie progress bar

I have a Flash slide show, and need to be able to tell the
viewer how far along they are within it. Something similiar to what
you see at the bottom of a Quicktime movie. Is this possible in
Flash?

Gailspencer,

> to what you see at the bottom of a Quicktime movie. Is

This is possible, but the complexity involved depends on how
you've laid
out the rest of your slide show. If your slides are linear
along the main
timeline, then you might just be able to tween a
circle-shaped symbol along
a track-shaped symbol -- no ActionScript involved. That would
indicate
progress but wouldn't be draggable or otherwise interactive.
If your slide
show is *not* linear (maybe you're using nested movie clips,
for example)
then the complexity increases.
A programmed approach might take note of the total frames in
a given
movie clip (including the main timeline) and also take note
of the current
frame, then use that ratio -- frame 5 of 65, say -- to
position a
circle-shaped symbol along its track. To position objects
with
ActionScript, you simply have to set its x or y property as
desired. In
ActionScript 2.0, that would be _x and _y for movie clip
symbols. In Flash,
just about everything can be considered an object, and
objects are defined
by their (usually) namesake classes. Think of a class as a
blue print or
template used to create an object of a certain kind. Movie
clip symbols are
defined by the MovieClip class, non-static text fields are
defined by the
TextField class, and so on. Classes typically have one or
more of the
following categories: properties (characteristics, such as
MovieClip._x and
_y), methods (things the object can do, such as
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay()),
and events (things the object can react to, such as
MovieClip.onRollOver).
If you plan to use ActionScript, and the total frames /
current frame
idea makes sense to you, check out the MovieClip._totalframes
and
MovieClip._currentframe properties. Here are a handful of
short articles
that may give you a leg up on how to retrieve and set
property values, use
methods, and the like.

Trouble with current playback time on progress bar

First, some terminology.
As Adobe Flash Player is preparing to play a video, it displays a spinning icon in the center of the video window. I have seen web pages which refer to this as the spinning beach ball. I will refer to this simply as the "spinning icon".
While Adobe Flash Player is playing a video, when one hovers the cursor over the video window (or moves the cursor while playing the video in full screen mode), one sees a progress bar at the bottom of the window. To the left of the progress bar is a pause button.
The progress bar has a pointer representing the current playback time within the video. The progress bar also has a display of the current playback time and length of the video (eg, 40:37 / 01:12:35, meaning that play back is at 40 minutes and 37 seconds within a video which is 72 minutes and 35 seconds long).
On my Windows XP system, when Flash Player V10.0.32.18 is playing a streaming video, the video pauses when bandwidth is momentarily insufficient to deliver the video bit stream. The spinning icon appears in the center of the video window. The current playback time on the progress bar also pauses, as it should. But when the video resumes, the current playback time does not begin incrementing again. It remains stalled at the time the pause occurred, which is irritating because it is no longer possible to tell how much time remains in the video.
It took me a very long time to discover that once the current playback time has stalled, pressing the pause button will cause the current playback time to refresh to the correct playback time and begin incrementing again. Yaaayyyyyy!
Now, perhaps someone can help me with a challenge I have been unable to solve.
On occasion, I want to back up a few seconds within a video. But if I use my mouse to grab the pointer within the progress bar and move it backward, moving the pointer only a few seconds is a huge challenge. Even a slight movement of my mouse moves the pointer back a minute or two.
Is there a way to move the pointer using a key (eg, an arrow key) so that each key press moves the pointer back only a second or two?
And how about being able to key in a time and press enter, thereby causing the pointer to move to the specified time? Any way to do that?

Hi OSW, Thanks, now if the NPSWF (FF) files listed are 10.0.32.18 which I'm sure they are, then your FF Flash files are correct. You can right click on each of those and click Properties to confirm the version numbers. Then you have the SWF that is correct. So you have FF Flash files and the SWF, so you are ok on FF.
IE is a different story. That FIDbg10c.ocx should not be there, it should be Flash10c.ocx to match the FlashUtil10c.ocx.
Now as far as doing what you suggested, in a word NO. First of all the plug-in is normally used as referring to FF or other browsers than IE. ActiveX is used for IE. If you ran the uninstall_plug-in.exe, you would be removing your FF add on, so don't do that since all of your related Flash files for FF are intact. (Do not disturb:-)
Now the proper way to Uninstall is to use the Adobe Uninstaller that is downloaded to your Desktop. Then the IE Flash Player Installer is likewise downloaded to the Desktop. Then the FF Installer is downloaded to your Desktop. That way it seems to work better. Also the following must be taken into consideration. Any Anti-Virus/Spyware/Firewall can block
the install of the ActiveX Control for IE. You must run in the Administrative mode or be the Administrator to install the
ActiveX and write to the Windows Registry, which Flash Player does on the Install.
Keep in mind that an Uninstall will remove Flash Player files and the SWF and the SWO for ALL browsers. Then the IE Installer is used to Install FP and the SWO for IE. Then the FF Installer is used to Install the FP & SWF for FF.
Trying to update or download the Flash Player latest version does not remove the old versions as some software installs do. The old versions must be removed by the Adobe FP Uninstaller prior to any download of the new version.
I have to be offline for a time. Will check back in later. Just wanted to give you some info on this. There are a couple of things that can be done, and will explain later. If you are satisfied with FF & IE with how Flash Player is working, you don't have to do anything. Again, the update may not accomplish the progress bar issue either. So it is something to think about.
Thanks,
eidnolb
