Progress Bar / Loading bar in LiveCycle forms

Hello All ,
I was just wondering is it possible to write a script to show a Progress bar / Loading bar in LiveCycle ??
Thanks.

Hi, I have this sample from Niall, https://sites.google.com/site/livecycledesignercookbooks/niall-o-donovan/2010-04-05%20Prog ress%20bar.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1, not sure if it is the same one but is around that date. There's also this sample http://adobelivecycledesignercookbookbybr001.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/displaying-acrobat-pr ogress-bar-in.html.

Flash Video doesn't show progress or load bar

I need to show a progress download bar and loading stripes
when stalling/loading (eg like youtube and millions of other online
video) otherwise the user thinks the video isn't loading or
playing.
I've tried two things:
1. Creating the flv using Flash Video Encoder results in a
40MB flv. I then insert the flv into my page in dreamweaver. The dw
tools pop up and I choose progressive download and my skin etc. The
resulting page plays the video fine but there's no progress bar or
loading stripes when the video is loading/stalling.
2. Inserting the video into a flash file and creating a swf
which is then inserted into the html page - as per the instructions
by media247 on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=189&threadid =1332318
- no luck doing that either, it shows the player controls with a
blank video screen until the video is buffered, then plays the
video and it stalls/loads with no stripes or load progress
indicator bar. (Same as above, really, but with a different skin
selection)
I've tried heaps of different skins and settings in the
encoder and flash importer thing but it just doesn't work - I've
had this same problem before and searched the net without joy. Can
someone tell me what might be wrong? Is there a simple setting in
the importer somewhere??
Thanks for your help

UJI Progress bar / Loader woes

Hi. I'm new here. Only a beginner with Flash really, been
using for a few months. I only have Flash 8 due to finances, but I
use CS3 at work.
I have built my own preloaders/progress bars in the past but
decided to have a go with the UI progress bar / Loader for quick
setup purposes.
Strange things afoot - works when published with "simulate
download" in Flash, works locally in browsers (quickly, obviously)
- but when I upload it to a server, Firefox is fine, but IE (6
& 7) it WAS working properly earlier, but when revisiting site,
progress bar hangs at 0%, then fails to disappear when main film is
loaded in. I have noticed this recurring problem with this
component over the last couple of days.
Perhaps I ought to just stick to writing manual ones, but
this one seemed like a very quick way of doing it - if the client
is satisfied with a generic, albeit slightly styled one.
Any ideas? Is it the styling causing it in some way? I have
fontFamily, fontSize, themeColor.

Both load instantly for me after the first load, check if it
is also doing this for you, if not than i am completely lost, i
cant see how a change in URL could possibly change the
flash.

Progress bar loads very slowley, reaches the end then nothing..

Hi, I have a G5 tower, on start up the progress bar loads very slowley and when it gets to the end it just stays that way, constantly 'progressing' nowhere.
I've left it for about 10 mins to see if it eventually starts up properly but no luck. I tried all the usually key combinations to help and also have started up in Safe Mode but im unable to type anything in as the curser is frozen.
Any else experienced anything like this?
From what i can tell the only other options I have are to try reinstalling the OS X from Disk (I dont have the OSX install disks as I bought it second hand from a local BBC office.)
Or take it to my local Mac store to let them have a go at fixing it.
Any advice or similar experience storys are very welcome.
Cheers,
Nick

Well, you posted in the Intel MacPro usage forum. Futher new posts should be made in the G5 Usage forum.
I help in both so we'll give it a shot. Since you don't have the disks try using fsck using these tips. I know you tried Safe Mode but perhaps fsck can repair more. The Repair Disk function in Disk Utility would work better, but it's only on the disks.
Have you ever replaced the PRAM battery?

I cannot load the Zynga game Pioneer trail, the game shows the loading bar as full but will not progress past the load page, The game works in other browsers.

Only goes as far as the load page, and loading bar shows 100%

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I have an iMac that won't boot up. I've read all posts on this subject to no avail. When power is switched on, it chimes, Apple logo appears, spinning wheel, then loading bar starts to fill. It gets to about 25% then switches off! Help please!

iMac that won't boot up! When power is switched on it chimes, Apple logo appears, then loading bar, then spinning wheel. Bar seems to load up and gets to around 25%, then reverts to the start again, gets to about 20% on the bar and then switches itself off leaving a black screen. Tried all the remedies on internet with no avail so would welcome some advice other than binning what is a relatively new computer. Earliest appointment Apple could offer was Thursday 17th, really useful for a business user _ not impressed,

You've probably tried this, but will it Safe Boot? Restart holding down the Shift key until you see the grey progress bar. You'll need to input your admin password during bootup. If it will boot you can then try to eject the disk using the various suggestions here that you haven't tried already:

Apple iPhone 5 Flashing with apple logo and load bar and apps working

flickering, with apple logo and load bar and apps in that background that all work while screen flickering, had to restore my phone to get to stop flashing and eliminate the load bar.

Hello missyfromsouthport,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You might need to use recovery mode if:
You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Additional Information
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Website with Loading Bar

Hello All,
I have a website that I have created in AS3. Right now there is one main splash page before you enter the site (this is index.html). It's a short animation, then you click a button to enter the main website. It takes you to a second HTML page (home.html) where the rest of the website is laid out in flash.
I want to be able to have everything on ONE page, and have a loading bar precede everything. The website itself has a loader in it to display different pictures and text, and I'm worried that the amount of time it takes to load to begin with (the short animation) and to go to the actual site (the bulk of the pictures) is seriously detremental to the flow of the website.
My questions are essentially these:
How do I put the animation in the same place as the website? Will I require a loader in a loader?
How do I make a loading bar kick the whole thing off?
Thanks for your input. Hopefully this is a simple fix that I have yet to learn. Thanks.

Loader bar strange behaviour in certain browsers

Hi there,
I've been using this code for loader bars for a little while and it looks good. Most of the time !
In some browsers (notably chrome mac, and firefox PC) the loader bar flies off in the opposite direction and doesn't show the load at all, just puts a white bar across the left hand side of the page (from the origin of the movieclip backwards) !
Here is my code, can anyone help me out please ? :-
var myMovie:Sprite;
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop, false, 0, true);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done, false, 0, true);
l.load(new URLRequest("myswf.swf")); // << Full URL on export
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
logo.bar_mc.scaleX = perc;
logo.bar_mask.scaleX = perc;
function done(e:Event):void
removeChild(logo);
logo = null;
myMovie = Sprite(l.content);
stage.addChild(myMovie);
l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l = null;
Thanks in advance
Martin

clear your cache and test. if the problem never occurs with a cleared cache then your swf may be loading from cache before a progressevent is dispatched.
if that's the issue, handle in your complete listener function.

Ipod 5th Gen is stuck on the apple logo with the loading bar not moving

So I recently decided to restore my iPod 5th gen to factory settings, because I plan on selling it to a friend. When I chose the option to erase all data and reset settings, the iPod turned off, and then came to the black background with the apple logo in the middle. After watching it turn on and off, and not do anything for at least an hour, I searched for answers on the forum. I found that I should reset my iPod by holding the center button and the top right button at the same time for at least ten seconds, or until the device shuts off and then the apple logo is visible again. After I did this, once again, the black background with the apple logo popped up, this time with a loading bar beneath it. After an hour or two of checking on the progress bar, I noticed that it had not made any progress whatsoever. It had not moved an inch since I first started it. What do I do?

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Slide presentation loading bar

Hello,
Is there a way I can add a loading bar to each slide in a
presentation? I want to create a frontpage component for a web site
using Flash CS3 Slide Presentations. I have several flash movies
that I want loaded into the presentation and then use the
presentation to let the user navigate between these movies (one per
slide).
Where should I place the preloaders?
1. Individual movie timelines (these movies are imported to
each slide using the UILoader component)?
2. Individual slide timelines?
What happens to slide transition effects in each of these
cases?
Thanks in advance for helping,

I cannot open or run the later solutions people provided since they're all in 8.6 - too big for my lowly 8.5! Could someone down-convert a few of the later ones please?
Which ones? There were many that were posted. Since you said you are trying to make this compatible with 6.1 you won't be able to use them anyway since LabVIEW 6.1 does not support .NET.
The AxtiveX control references i've found which look(ed) hopeful are from the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP4) Version 2.0 library. They are the ProgressBar (MSComctlLib.ProgCtrl.2), and the StatusBar (MSComctlLib.SBarCTRL.2). Any ideas for if i was to venture down this road or is this unwise?
The StatusBar is the wrong one to use. That's just what appears at the bottom of the window. Using the ProgressBar is fairly simple. Example.
How could I simulate a progress bar with 256 'segments' (257 sliders)*?
Either that, or is it possible to have a two-colour texture in one
'segment' where one colour at one end fades to the other colour at the
other end? By 'segment', I mean the space between two sliders.
This
is an attempted work-around for not having much success trying to use
an ActiveX control reference for the windows progress/status bars.
* I'm not too keen on creating 256 progress bars to replicate my current method for getting a graduated colour fill on the slider!
What is your ultimate goal? To get something that's compatible with 6.1 or to get a graduated color? Or both? The MS ActiveX ProgressBar will not be graduated, but it will work with 6.1. If you use a horizontal slide then you can create a bunch of sliders to get your graduated fill. Depending on how fast it's moving or how wide filled bar is you may not need 256 as the human eye may not be able to perceive a harsh jump in color if it's below the detection threshold.

My loading bar at startup stops at around 50%

Hey,
I just turned on my MacBook Pro and the loading bar on the start-up screen stops. I have restarted many times and the loading bar stops at the same place. Could someone please help??

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Upon bootup there is a loading bar below the apple logo- TAKES AGES!

When I turn on my macbook pro 13" 2.4 intel core 2 duo with *snow leopard* installed, i get to the normal grey screen with the apple logo and a new addition, a *grey loading bar below that logo*. This new addition is the bane of my life as it *takes 5 minutes+ to load* (this is approximate as i have not timed it accurately.
This never appeared the first few times id turned it on after receiving it for christmas '10. The problem means that I nearly never turn my mac off which is probably not the best thing but I cannot bear the loading time when I need my laptop to turn on at college etc... Any advice?
p.s I only created a new thread as when i searched similar problems, others also had side issues that the system didnt work properly or there were further issues after the loading bar.i do not have these problems, My mabook works fine once it is on but its the time it takes to get there that is not normal.

The use of Safe Boot mode should be ventured into with some familiarity; to
understand a little more about it. There are articles, documents, information...
(Actually, some of your Snow Leopard's slow starting is likely due to it's own
way of trying to negotiate past some issues it finds, in the boot process; so
that is why a +third-party disk utility+ may help, if a 'verify' of the hard drive by
use of your native OS X boot disc's version of Disk Utility can't fix problems.)
• Mac OS X: *What is Safe Boot*, Safe Mode?
+Safe Boot is a special way to start up when troubleshooting. Safe Mode is the state+
+Mac OS X is in after a Safe Boot. To perform a Safe Boot, hold the Shift key as your+
+Mac starts up. Starting up into Safe Mode does several things...+
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
• Mac OS X: *Starting up* in Safe Mode (safeboot)
+Learn how to start up in Safe Mode.+
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
• Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1884?viewlocale=en_US
{Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses,
you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).}
+Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because+
+it includes a disk check and other operations.+
There are other levels of access into the system, but without
some background or understanding of Terminal utility and a
grasp or feeling/experience in single-user boot, the methods
used by this process are best for GUI access for this task.
When a user can't get into a computer this way, is where
other methods of access are essential; or better tools and a
good backup clone on external boot-capable hard disk drive.
You can find Console in the utilities folder, by using GO in the
Finder menu bar, and choosing Utilities (folder) to open; then
launch Console. Several kinds of logs are reported here by
the running OS X system; those pertaining to the OS X and
all of the computer's basic running would be first to look into.
There are error logs, system logs, crash logs. See what the
system logs has, especially for date and time of the problem
where the computer takes forever to start. There may be no
log reports at all; if the system won't write them on startup.
A possibility in Directory issues contributing to this slow startup
or some damaged system startup files, exists. So, troubleshooting
may include checking the hard drive with the booted install disc's
version of Disk Utility, to see if it sees an issue, and then if it may
be able to repair the drive's issue. (not a permissions repair.)
This can be problematic, do not actually run the Installer on the
booted (hold C key on start with Install DVD in optical drive) disc
since the options and tools available there are to be found in a
menu bar and that is like a regular application window. When
done, the way to exit Disk Utility, is quit; To exit Installer, you
use the menu bar options to get and use Startup Manager; in
which you can choose to start the Mac from its hard disk drive.
If the Disk Utility can't repair a reported problem, then it may be
something to consider the purchase of a retail third-party disk
utility, such as those named. And they do require some learning
to know what they can do, and how to make them work.
The visit to an Apple genius, may be helpful. To have a complete
backup of your computer, (a clone; see Carbon copy cloner, etc)
you can restore or run/boot the computer from, is recommended.
You should check the computer to be sure it can start up in SafeBoot
and also not have peripherals attached to it, while troubleshooting.
They could contribute to symptoms, or be a cause of issues.
This article covers several symptoms on start up in OS X later than 10.3.9:
• Mac OS X: gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
There's so much more, but these may tend to distract from initial checking of
the basics. Perhaps a finer set of insights and help may be offered by another
reader who can sense this problem from first hand experience?
Good luck & happy computing!
