Need progress bar component help.

I have a huge headache from doing hours of web searching for
what seems to be a simple solution. All I want to do is use the
progress bar component on frame one to load my main timeline and I
can't find a tutorial for this anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks in
advance,
Joe

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:

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!

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!

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!

Dynamic control of progress bar component

Hello, I'm trying to use a load progress bar component to

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);

Progress bar - please help

Hi there,
I have desperately trying to solve a problem with a progress
bar in my animation. I have got a button on my progress bar which
shows at what stage the animation is. I would like to have the
button controlling the animation in the way that I could drag it to
any place on progress bar and the animation would move to this
place. I am attaching the source code, so I hope it would be much
clearer then. The link to download source code:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/st7dlx
I would highly appreciate any advice and would be happy for
any help.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, All - I need to do the same thing. I need my seekbar
component to be clickable or a progress bar to be clickable. I
can't seem to find the right code or examples to do this. Can you
share your code or point me in the right direction. Thanks,
Dave

Ajax progress bar, please help

I have read the Ajax progress bar example, but I still don't know how to create my own task thread.
If I have two new different tasks such as task1 and task2, should these classes extend the SimpleTask class, and override the run() method?
In addition, if I would like to get input from TextField for task1 or task2, how can I do that? What do I need to do in the SessionBean1? I mean that the SimpleTask can be instantiated in the SessionBean1 without any problem because it does not take any input from the Form. However, if my new task needs some inputs from the Form, how can I do that in the SessionBean1?
Finally, do I have to have two different sets of startOrResumeTask(), pauseTask() and stopTask() for each different task? The reason is that in the startOrResumeTask(), the task is casted to SimpleTask.
Thank you very much.

See Help for the MovieClipLoader class, this is the right way
to do a
preloader. Never use those horrible on methods, like
onClipEvent, those are
just bad and never necessary. Nutshell: make a new movie - a
preloader -
make a new empty clip within it and give it an instance name
of 'content'.
Put this code on frame 1, in a script layer:
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
var lis = new Object();
lis.onLoadInit = function(target:MovieClip){
//target (content) is now ready to do stuff with:
//target.activate();
lis.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip,
loadedBytes:Number,
totalBytes:Number){
//loaded / total * 100 is your loaded completion percentage
//use it to change a progress meter
mcl.addListener(lis);
mcl.loadClip("yourContentMovie.swf", content);
What I do is have all of my content movies have an activate()
function, and
I call that within onLoadInit to 'start' the content. Maybe
you want content
to fade in once it's loaded - give content an alpha of 0
within your loader
movie, and then within onLoadInit start a tween to fade it
in, or simply set
it's alpha to 100, to have it appear once loaded. Lots of
options.

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.

Needs progress bar or something

This is a quirky request, but Mail is very stealth when it's in the process of sending an email. Other than the sound it makes when it completes the send, there's no visual cue that indicates status other than the message window dissapears.
Sorry, I'm trying my best to use the native Apple apps as much as possible, and I have high praise for iPhoto, iTunes, iMove...but the productivity apps like Mail, Address Book and Calendar still have much to be desired...in my opinion.

The little spinning progress wheel is also shown next to the Outbox. When the message is successfully sent, both of those disappear.

My MacBook freezes at startup, before getting to the Apple logo and progress bar. Help!

I have a black backlit screen with nothing on it. It happens after turning it on, it chimes and then nothing.... I have tried restarting it by holding down the power button, nothing, same issue.
It is an aluminum MacBook with OSX Lion.

Sounds like something is badly wrong with your system. First step would be to start up from your Mac OS X install disk, by inserting the disk and holding down 'c' at startup. Select your language, then choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. In Disk Utility, choose your hard drive and click the Repair Disk button.
If problems are repaired, try restarting and see if the problems are gone.
If problems couldn't be repaired, you can try DiskWarrior, which can sometimes repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, if nothing works, you probably are going to have to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch. Hopefully you have backups!
If there were no errors, or they were repaired successfully but that didn't fix the problem, then you should try booting into safe mode by holding down the shift key at startup. If that works, you may have some bad third-party software. What that might be is hard to say, though.
If nothing works, try rebooting from the Mac OS X install disk again and install Snow Leopard right on top of your current system. That shouldn't disturb your apps or data, but of course, if you don't have backups, you're in trouble if something goes wrong.

Progress Bar Help

I have a script that, well, here it is before I explain it.
function uploadProgress(evt){
trace(evt.bytesLoaded,"/",evt.bytesTotal);
this is created by an upload script. How do I feed it to a
Progress bar? Help me please!

Try something like this:
function uploadProgress(evt){
progressBar_mc.scaleX = evt.bytesLoaded/evt.bytesTotal;

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.
