Flash :: Progress Bar Component For FLV

Progress Bar Component
Can someone please give me a detailed explanation how to use this in Flash MX? I've already gone through all the documentation and every thread I can find and I still can't get this thing to work. All I want to do is to check if the whole swf file is loaded then play. I've tried bytesLoaded as well and nothing.

I've tried this already:

pBar.setLoadTarget(this);
pBar.setChangeHandler("onProgress");

function onProgress() {
// when loaded, start the movieclip
if (_root.getPercentComplete()>=100) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}

Progress Bar Component
Hello,

I have followed the help section on the progress bar component in Flash MX 2004 and am able to make it work fine. However, I would like the progress bar to dissapear once the image is loaded in the loader component (also found in the component library). How can I do this?

Thanks,

Luke

Progress Bar Component
Hi I'm using a progress bar component with a variable called mysound. It works when I use it but I have lots of sounds that use (mysound). It only works once on the first time using mysound. How can I set it back to zero so that when I load another sound it will work again.

I have the mode set to polled
And the source set to mysound

Probably easy but I checked the documentation and could not find an answer thanks.

Progress Bar Component... (It's Me Again)
Hello again all!
I would like to include the progress bar in loading my website (and certain pages in it).
How would I include this? I'd like to do it in one Flash file and hopefully in the same scene as the thing I want to load.
Thanks in advanced,
Nicko.

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!

Attach Code

myProgressBar.setStyle("themeColor", 0xFF0000);
myProgressBarListener = new Object();
myProgressBarListener = function (eventObject) {
myProgressBar._visible = false;

};

myLoader.scaleContent = true;
myProgressBar.mode = "polled";
myProgressBar.source = "myLoader";
myProgressBar.conversion = "1";
myProgressBar.label = "LOADING %3%%";
myProgressBar.direction = "right";
myProgressBar.labelPlacement = "bottom";
stop();

Progress Bar Component Box
I've successfully placed the progress bar component. It works fine, but when the screen first loads I get a hairline box that is eventually replaced with the progress bar.

Why does the box come up at all and how can I get rid of it? I tried changing the theme but all that does is affect the component itself, not the "bounding box."

Progress Bar Component: PLEASE HELP
Here's whats happenening: I have a Flash site that I'm designing. The movie that I'm working with is the main movie into which my external .swf's will get loaded into. Now in the very first frame of my main .swf I have the progress bar component setup running in manual mode (I'm running in manual mode because I'm not using the loader component in conjunction with the progress bar. I figured that I wouldn't need the loader just yet because this is the progress bar for the main movie and not for an external .swf...) with this code:

Code:
var kalarahProgress:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
kalarahProgress.mode = manual;
kalarahProgress.indeterminate = true;
kalarahProgress.maximum = _totalframes;
kalarahProgress.minimum = 0;
kalarahProgress.setStyle ("themeColor", "haloBlue");
Now when I test it in FlashMX 2K4 Pro using "Simulate Download", everything works fine EXCEPT: Theres this white box that shows up right where my progress bar is in the first frame. After the progress bar loads (itself) then, you actually see the "candycane" indeterminate load bar and then after my other frames in the movie loads, it goes into my second frame and everything is cool. How can I make that white box go away? I tried using actionscript that would make the progress bar invisible until after it finished loading and then go to visible, but when I tried that, the component never came back visible. I just need to make that white box go away, it's taking away from the "beauty" of everything else. Also, my load bar doesn't show any percentages. It just flashes "loading" until after the rest of the frames are loaded. How can I get it to show the percentage of whats loaded so far? Thanks for any assist that anyone may be able to give me. To download a copy of my .fla, just click here.

Progress Bar Component Help
Hey all,
I've created a site that loads seven swf files into corrosponding mc and am trying to use the progress bar component to preload everything. The idea is to have the area blank until all data has been loaded (other animations/tex areas that read from a database/etc). I am running into some snags.... the progress bar works (sort of) but...

a: never reaches 100% before it starts displaying the swfs

b: I have a feeling that the preloader isn't really preloading all of them, just the last in my list.....

here's the site.
http://www.bulletfactory.com/superblackmarket/

here's the preloader code.... If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!! My guess is the addListener section may be the culprit

Code:
mainContainer._visible=false;

var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;

my_pb.setStyle("color", 0x000000);
my_pb.setStyle("fontFamily", "Arial");
my_pb.setStyle("fontSize", 11);

var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();

mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
//my_pb.label = "loading: " + target_mc._name;
};
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):Void {
var pctLoaded:Number = Math.ceil(100 * (numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal));
my_pb.setProgress(numBytesLoaded, numBytesTotal);
};

mclListener.onLoadComplete = function():Void {
if (numBytesLoaded == numBytesTotal){
my_pb._visible=false;
mainContainer._visible=true;
}
};

my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);

my_mcl.loadClip("six.swf", this.mainContainer.clipSix);
my_mcl.loadClip("three.swf", this.mainContainer.clipThree);
my_mcl.loadClip("four.swf", this.mainContainer.clipFour);
my_mcl.loadClip("five.swf", this.mainContainer.clipFive);
my_mcl.loadClip("player/sbm_stream.swf", _root.blank);
my_mcl.loadClip("two.swf", this.mainContainer.clipTwo);
my_mcl.loadClip("one.swf", this.mainContainer.clipOne);
Thanks again for any suggestions you may have!!

Progress Bar Component
Hello

If say I have my main movie which will load in parts of the site individually then is it possible to use the progressive bar component?

I saw the tutorial on this site and what it seems to be doing is the bar loads and then once finished it loads in a swf into the loader component (think this would be great if this was the movie being loaded) but not for my main mmovie which loads in various other movies individually

Any ideas?

Progress Bar Component Help
I'm trying to use the progress bar component to show the loading of an external asset (a .swf file) into the main movie. Essentially the user will click on a button in the main movie and that action will load an external swf file. I want to show a progress bar so the user knows something is going on.

The problem that I'm having right now is that it seems as though the progress bar isn't showing at all and that the swf file just "pops up".

This is the code:

Code:

spineOPedic.onRelease = function(){
checkFlag = false;
determineLocation();
movieLocation = "SpineMain";
if(!determineDisplayed("SpineMain")){
//THE ENTRY POINT FOR SPINE O PEDIC HAS NOT BEEN DISPLAYED
//USE PRELOADER COMPONENT
var pillowPB:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
pillowPB.mode = "manual";

this._parent.createEmptyMovieClip("pillowImage", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

var pillowLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var pillowListener:Object = new Object();

pillowListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip){
pillowPB.label = "Loading: " + target_mc._name;
}

pillowListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number){
pillowPB.setProgress(numBytesLoaded, numBytesTotal);
}

pillowLoader.addListener(pillowListener);
pillowLoader.loadClip(path + "product_spine_pillow.swf", pillowImage);

}
}

Any ideas are welcomed.

Progress Bar Component [MX04]
Hi all. Completely new to this flash stuff, am slowly learning, but need plain english and some help! I've looked at various tuts til I'm dizzy but can't quite see what I need.

Have made a very basic photogallery whereby thumbnails act as buttons, when clicked they bring up the full size image. Basically I need a preloader, the basic component in flash will do for now, to show the progress of the large image. I've put it in various different places but I'm having no luck and my knowledge of actionscript isn't quite there yet. Can anyone help? I've attached the .fla file in case you need it.

Many thanks

Help Working The Progress Bar Component
I am working on a page using the loader and progress bar components in Flash 8. here is the site...
www.eastgaterocks.com/media.htm

just navigate to pics.

I want the thumbnails to load the main picture, which they do. My problem is that when you click on any of the pictures, only the first one you click on actually uses the progress bar, the others after that just load without the progress bar. Any ideas? my buttons each have this AS on them:

on(release) {
myLoader.contentPath = "pics/pic1.gif";
}

My progress bar has the Loader's instance name as the source. What am i doing wrong? Thanks!

It works fine for the first image loaded into the loader component with loadmovie() but if I load a second movie it doesn't reset - it remains at 100%.

What is the best way to reset the percentage of a progress loader.

HELP W/ Progress Bar (loader) For A Component
Hi all,

Hope someone can help.

I created a website with a component. I am not that great with code.

• I have a swf which I placed in an html page.
• There's a lot of images.
• They load from an xml file.
• I need a preloader to display while the images load.

Since I am using a "COMPONENT" I have no idea how to create a preloader or progress bar to display while the images load. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Loader / Progress Bar Component Issues.
I have a Loader component in a movieclip and a Progress Bar component in a movie clip.

Instance name of Loader is ThumbLoader
Instance name of Progress Bar is Progress_bar

I have the following code which works fine in the authoring and bandwidth simulation environment.
But doesn't work in the real life through the HTML page.

Code:
ThumbLoaderListener = new Object();
ThumbLoaderListener.progress = function(eventObject) {
Progress_bar.setProgress(ThumbLoader.percentLoaded, 100);
};
ThumbLoader.addEventListener("progress", ThumbLoaderListener);
Then I tried the following which also didn't work.
Code:
Progress_bar.mode="polled";
Progress_bar.source=ThumbLoader;
Then came across the issue between the Loader & Progress Bar components here http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...fm?id=tn_19442

Code:
Flash TechNoteProgress Bar does not sync with Loader Component in a movie clip
Issue
When a ProgressBar component and a Loader component are in the same movie clip, and the ProgressBar component links to the Loader component using a relative link, the ProgressBar component will not show the correct percentage corresponding to the Loader component's status.

Reason
If you simply add the name of the Loader—for example, myLoader—in the ProgressBar Component Inspector, the component's source actually points to _parent.myLoader. The ProgressBar is therefore unable to locate the Loader component.

Solution
When you use the Component Inspector to set the source, the source is defined to use a relative path. However, since an absolute path is required, make sure to specify one when using the Component Inspector to set the source. For example, if linking to the same Loader component (myLoader), and both components are in a movie clip named mcName, set the source to mcName.myLoader.

Last updated: July 26, 2004
The solution according to Macromedia is
Code:
Progress_bar.source=MovieClipInstance.ThumbLoader;
Now I have three movieclips (Thumb1_mc, Thumb2_mc, Thumb3_mc) and the Loader & Progress are inside those three move clips. How to set the Progress_bar.source=???

I am really confused.
It seems the progress event of the loader doesn't work at all.

Somebody please give me a workaround or some solution.

I did lot of searching in the net for this issue and found no solution. Please help me.

Kannan.

Progress Bar/Loader Component Question.
I've read the tutorial on UI Components here on UltraShock and you guys did a great Job on it. However i don't understand something: What's the point of having a progressbar/loader when it has to load a differnt swf file? so i thought well i could just use the progressbar and when it's finished it would goto a different frame, but from my reading the eventlistener doesn't seem to work in mx 2004 for the progress bar so how would i make the progress bar load the swf file and then go to frame 2?

Adding A MC Animation To The Flash Progress Bar Component
I've completed a Preloader and Progress Bar SWF using the default Flash 8 components. Everything works fine (it loads a large SWF project I completed), but I'd like to add a little animated logo above the progress bar.

Without diving into custom made preloaders, I'd like to stick with what I have made already. I see a line of code that makes the progress bar disappear once the main SWF is loaded:

// Hide the progress bar now as we don’t need it any more
myProgressBar._visible = false;

I've added my logo MC to a new layer in my preloader.fla, and named it myLogo.

What will I need to do (if it's possible, that is) to make the logo MC disappear along with the Progress Bar?

I've tried adding:

myLogo._visible = false;

After naming the logo MC instance myLogo, of course.

But this still doesn't work - the logo MC doesn't disappear.

Can any one suggest how to do this? I've attached my ActionScript code in TXT format.

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?

Progress Bar For Showing Progress Of Loading Data From A CFC?
Hi all,

I wondered if anyone knew any way of showing a progress bar when calling a CFC through actionscript? I have a CFC which returns a ton of data, and so would like to show the progress of the data being loaded.

I know you can do this when loading a webpage, through using URLLoader, and getting the progress by listening to the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS event. However, when I call the CFC, I don't use the URLLoader class. My code for calling the CFC service looks like below

Code:
var service : RemoteObject = RemoteObject( ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService( "productService" ) );
var responder : GenericResponder = this.initResponder( getProductOptionListResult, getProductOptionListFault, resultHandle, faultHandle );
var call : AsyncToken = service.findOptionsForProduct( product );
thanks in advance for your help!
