I have created a progress bar using AS2 before but I only vaggly remember how I know that it involes using some code that deals with percentages but other then that I don't remember how to do it and I really don't remember how to apply it to my my .swf. and have it appear in my HTML page.My flash file was created using AS2 in Flash CS3
View 1 RepliesI have a xml image gallery and I want to add a simple progress bar component from flash cs5 to the thumbs when they 1st load up in the carousel.
I understand about the progress bar and how it works and I have tried all day to insert the correct code into my project but I just can't seem to get it right. I dont want to use buttons for the progress bar as demonstrated by Republic of Code, I would just like the progress bars to load when thumbs are loading.
I have included below the progress bar AS3 code from the site "republic of code" which I have been learning from. Also below is the code from my xml gallery.
progress bar AS3 code
import fl.controls.ProgressBar;
import fl.controls.Button;

Get away from using flashs skin and use my own play and stop buttons progress bar.Be able to use an autoplay within the script and not use the parameters autoplay. using which is working fine. I just want to be able to have more control by being able to write code for the above activities.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

You all know the new generation of fancy, mostly Flash-based file uploaders like SWFUpload that can show a progress bar while uploading - a great improvement especially for shaky and low-bandwidth connections.
However, these uploaders all bring their own logic of how to handle uploads on the client side. I am looking for an unobtrusive way to "fancify" existing, classical file uploads, i.e. introducing a progress bar to normal file upload forms.
Due to the architecture of uploading files, this is most likely not possible without some tweaking on the client side.
I am looking for a solution that keeps the tweaking to an absolute minimum, e.g. a component that adds itself to the onsubmit event of a normal form, performs the file upload, displays a nice progress bar, puts the resulting temporary (server side) file path into the form, and submits it. On the server side, I just have to modify my script to use the file path provided by the flash uploader, instead of $_FILES and consorts, and think about security for a moment.
This is not exactly what all the Flash-based uploaders do: They can use data from a form, but they do not provide possibilities to submit the form as is, what is what I'm looking for. I am looking for a (probably) Flash based upload function taken a step further.
I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
trace("LOADED");
}
I have an SWF movie (1375 frames) and created a progress bar (248px wide) with a slider that moves according to the movie progress. I'm doing that next way:Calculating the distance for the slider to be moved each frame (248 / 1375) On each ENTER_FRAME moving the slider for the calculated distance The problem is - the movie ends far before the slider reaches the end of the progress bar.
I'm thinking that the distance (Step 1) is is somehow ends floored by Flash and the actual distance it moves the slider is smaller than required. That's why the movie ends, but the timeline control just passed the 2/3 of its way. My question is - is there any solution for the problem? Or any other way to go, if it's a wrong one?
I have a progress bar inside a repeater and therefore I will need to use getRepeaterItem to set it's progress as suggested in this question.
How can I do that such that the value of progress may be taken from repMonitor.currentItem.threatLevel?
<mx:Accordion id="monAccordian" includeIn="Monitoring" x="10" y="10" width="554" height="242" change="monAccordianChange()" >

I've been having a hard time for some days now trying to make a progressbar in AC3. I searched the web and tried several different approaches and attempts but nothing works. I hope I can get some input from here now...
The main portion of the applicataion is working. It's only when I try to use AC3 to control the jumps in the timeline the problem occours.
This is my AC3-code:
import flash.events.*;import flash.display.Loader;stop();addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, myFunction);var p_loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();//addChild(p_loader);

As I run the code all the trace-statements is printed. But the bytes is 0 all the time. I guess this has something to do with the main problem. I tried to simulate the download-process, but in this way not even the "kirupatxt.text = "TESTING";" is printed in my dynamic textfield.
I've created a progress bar animation to load an external SWF file as described in this document: [URL] The problem is, the SWF file i want to load is a magazine exported from Indesign, so I want it to display one page (frame) at a time (you can go to the next page using the navigation buttons provided). When I use the method mentioned above the clip loads, but then it plays... so how can i make it stop at the first frame?

I need to add a progress bar/playback controls for a presentation built in AS 2.0 which has such length voice over in it we've decided we need to give the user the ability to see where they are in the timeline and scrub through sections of the presentation. I'm familiar with stop and pause button code in situations like this, but it's the first time I've needed this kind of functionality. Presently, the first part of my project is set up with several scenes and is completely linear. The second section is interactive with swfs loaded into empty movieclips.
I've found a number of references to progress bars online, but they're all for loading content, not for navigating once content is downloaded.
I am trying to make a progress bar to show the my application loading status. I google a lot but it only shows how to use progress bar for elements (ex: images, datagrid). I need to know the progress bar setup for the entire application.

I want to add a progress bar to my UILoader, now its easy to add the progressBar and make it load different images, but how can I add the progress that its loading in text by the progessBar
Show the progressBar and the the % of the file being loaded into the UILoader. And then after it loaded the picture the progressBar's visiblity must go to false.
I am trying to use the Progress Bar Component. Does anybody have examples of its implementation?

View 7 RepliesI am struggling with trying to deal with variables & loading.I have two movies: one - is the Player - it has a progress bar, much like preloading bar. it gets these from..two - the footage it has a looping MC in it that runs the progress bar with the following code:[code]You have to constantly refresh the values; hence the loop.I need to move this to the main movie. Did I mention that this is all loaded dymanically? movieName ="video1. swf"/Can I swap the _root.movie.getBytes with the variable so that it'll gauge the progress of the load? Haven't figured out have to make it actually work.The next logical step is to have an icon that shows where the viewer is in the movie.URL...

View 2 RepliesI'm having this strange problem with the progress bar in the gallery section of my site. I made the site on flash.Go to the English section and click any image. you'll see the progress bar not working but wait a bit untill the gallery loads. There's no close button but if move your mouse pointer to the up right corner it's there, click it. Now click on the same image and you'll notice that now the progress bar and close button works fine.url.. It's weird because when i publish the site and test it on my computer it works fine. But when i upload the files to the server this happens. The preloader only works when it's in the computer cache.

I have about 8000 rows of data being process, of course this doesn't take long, but it isn't instantaneous, so I'm using a progress bar to show the progression through.I've placed my progbar on the stage, and it is visible, but when I start the progressing of information in a for loop, the advancement of the progress bar doesn't display. I've placed a trace element within a custom component that includes the progress bar, and the trace is doing exactly what it is suppose to do. However, the progress indicator isn't advancing forward.
The main question is, is there a way to "refresh" the progress indicator to correctly indicate the current load level. I've found that rendering will not occur until the thread has completed it processing, so I need to show a visual representation of the load without compromising the speed of the load.
Code:
var SimulateTimer:Timer = new Timer(100) //100ms timer
SimulateTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,doSomeWork)
var j:int
[code]....
You can similarly do this with setInterval, but from the methods I've tried, there was a very noticeable effect in the overall speed of the processing.
Does anyone know how can I make a progress bar with drag back and forward function?
View 2 RepliesAs I said once before I'm making a dialogue based flash game.I'm relatively new to flash, so I've been having to scavenge for bits of code for what I want to do...-------Right now my situation is this -When a player "talks" with a character by pressing the "talk" button I want them to be able to pick up at the conversation point they were at last time. Not a save file, but more of a progression,so if they were to explore other parts of the world and come back to the same character, they'd have to click on the same "talk" button, but //still// be advanced in their dialogue tree.
Is there a way to do with with action script code?Something that will tell flash, "Oh, this is where we left off, I'll go to the next frame of dialogue" when players clic on the "talk" button?My only idea to do something like this is quite a hassle -make a variable named "times talked to" and have the button depended on this variable, and make it gain a point every time it is pressed,but I'm under the impression that this effect can be achieved without something like this.
I have a fla file that loads a slide show from an XML file. The xml file contains info about each slide. There's over a 100 slides so the loading takes some time. However I'm not getting actual load progress. It traces nothing until after the load is complete and then it shows the progress that it should have traced one by one, however it traced them all at once on the complete. Because it's not firing the onProgress correctly my preloader is rendered useless. Am I doing something wrong on is this a bug in Flash?

I have to create a presentation with audio and animation synced - it's about 5 minutes. It has 5 buttons at the bottom that the user can use to navigate to a particular subject of the presentation. But I was asked if there could be a progress bar for each subject so that the user could see how far they've gone. I'm thinking I could have something check to see how far along the audio is and have a bar move along as the audio moves along.
View 3 RepliesI have a SWF file that is the first frame of the movie and it's only purpose is to load in another SWF and show text corresponding to the progress of download completion. When I test the movie (Simulate Download) it just simulates without showing my text with percentage complete. The only way I can get it to show, is if I add a button to click to make it show. How can I get it, so that when someone opens the movie, it will start the download process, show the percentage, and then upon completion, start the UILoader movie?[code]...
