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!

AS3 - Coding A Progress Bar To Show Progress Of A Timer.
Coding a progress bar to show progress of a Timer.

I have a timer that is set for (8000, 0). Pretty much what I would like to do is show the progress of where the timer is at but with a graphic. Something simple like a loader bar. Pending on where the timer is at the progress bar would load accordingly.

I am going to give it a try with out help but thought I would ask on the forum incase someone has an idea of how to do this before I go on a wild goose chase. Anyhow here goes the chase. If I figre it out before someone can help me I will post my code here.

Thanks,

Progress Bar Not Showing Progress
Hi all

I have putted the code below in frame1, and then the actual movie in frame 2. The problem is that the code below doesn't show the progress unless i put the movie to start from say frame 5. Could someone please tell me why that is and any good progress bar code with percentage? I've actually tried a few tutorial sample and only this one works but need to move to higher frame no.

// stop the movie from continuing
stop();

// create a function called onEnterFrame
// with this name, it is an event handler
// and is called automatically by the flash
// player every frame at intervals specified
// by the frame rate of the movie
onEnterFrame = function(){

// percent loaded is loaded/total
var percent_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();

// assign percent loaded to preloader movie clip
// in the form of the variable named value
preloader_mc.value = percent_loaded;

if (percent_loaded == 1){

// delete the onEnterFrame event handler
// so that it is no longer being called
// every frame
delete onEnterFrame;

// tell the main timeline to play
play();
//gotoAndPlay(12);
}
}

Progress Bar Help
hey- I'm having trouble with a progress bar

im working on a fight club animation, and im not using very much actionscript. I needed to make a loading bar, and it seems to stick at 11% (at least on my computer). Also, the text saying what % it is at is not good quality. I find that it is good quality if i set it to static text, but then i obviously can't get it to change along with the bar. anyway.

Here is everything you would need to know.

The names of the Objects -

1. "Bar". the name of the semi-orange bar that should creep across (Graphic)
2. "Loader". the name of the movie (movie)

The Scripting i have set to "Loader"

onClipEvent (load) {
perc = Math.round((_parent.getBytesLoaded()/_parent.getBytesTotal())*100);
xperc = perc/100;
barlength = 364.9;
if ((perc == 100) and (bar._width == barlength)) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
nperc = perc+"%";
bar._width = barlength*xperc;
bar._x = -100+(bar._width/2);
}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
if ((perc == 100) and (bar._width == barlength)) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
// checks the percentage of the movie that is
// loaded. If the movie is fully loaded it tells
// the main timeline to goto frame 2 and play.
// It also checks to make sure that the loading bar
// has made it all the way across.
} else {
nperc = perc+"%";
// gives a percentage readout in the text box you created.
bar._width = barlength*xperc;
// makes the bar grow.
bar._x = -100+(bar._width/2);
// keeps the bar in place.
}
}

i copied and pasted this off of a tutorial, still not completely understanding it. I am sure the problem is within that. The only thing i changed was the barlength (4th line) from 200 to 364.9.

when the loading finishes, it should say "done" for a few frames, fade out, and cut to the movie. i know how to do this.

check out whats happening with it at
www.geocities.com/skifreak05

then click on "go here for fight club"

Progress Bar
Hi, I am new to Flash MX 2004 having just upgraded from Flash 4 (I know this may seem weird to some but I am an artist using Flash not a programmer). I have been looking for a simple tutorial about displaying a progress bar when loading my swfs. I am only familiar with the Flash 4 "If frame is loaded" script. Can anyone please help. I have spent several hours on this site searching and reading previous board messages and not got anywhere yet.
Thanks

Progress Bar
How would I place a simple gray loading progress bar into my swf file:

http://66.221.32.78/tony.html

imagine that page would be larger to load. say 1mb, can't you put a movie clip with some script on the first keyframe and then it loads your page? I looked at lynda.com and it just talks about making a preloader file that calls up a swf file to go into the container, can't get it to work is there a better way?

Progress Bar
I am trying to load an external file into a preloader, however i can't get the preloader bar to move at all. The external .swf gets loaded fine and in the correct amount of time. I have a ProgressBar called 'pBar' and a Loader called 'loader'. Here is the loading code:

loader.autoLoad = false;

loader.contentPath = "film4.swf";
loader.content._lockroot = true;

pBar.label = "%1 out of %2 loaded (%3%%)";
pBar.source = loader;
pBar.mode = "polled";

pBar.setStyle("themeColor", "0x000000");
pBar.setStyle("color", "0x000000");

loader.load();

why can't i get the loader bar to move?? Please help!!! cheers.

Progress Bar Help
Hello

I followed Lee Brimelow's tutorial on creating a scrub progress bar.

When i test the movie the flv begins playing but the scrubber movie clip shoots away from the loader bar I created onto the 0 coordinate. I figured the script i used acknoledges the 0 coordinate as the start for the scrub movie clip.

How do i make it so that the scrubber movie clip starts at X= 243.2, which is the location of the start of my loader movie clip.

Here is my script.

Code:

//video

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

//buffer

ns.setBufferTime(15);

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full") {
bufferClip._visible = false;
}
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty") {
bufferClip._visible = true;
}
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
ns.seek(0);
}
}

trailer.attachVideo(ns);

rewind_btn.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(0);
}

play_btn.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
}

var videoInteval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;

ns["onMetaData"] = function(obj) {
duration = obj.duration;
}

function videoStatus() {
amountLoaded = ns.bytesLoaded / ns.bytesTotal;
loader.loadbar._width = amountLoaded * 243.2;
loader.scrub._x = ns.time / duration * 243.2;
}

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.

Help With Progress Bar
Hi --

I am using the Progress Bar component to build a simple preloader and noticed while simulating downloads at slower speeds that it does not show up until the movie is about 95% loaded. I have attached my code below... why does this occur? How can I get it to pop up right away so that the user does not close down my page? Thanks in advance.

Attach Code

myProgressBarListener = function (eventObject) {
myProgressBar._visible = false;
gotoAndStop(2);
};
myProgressBar.addEventListener("complete", myProgressBarListener);
myProgressBar.mode = "polled";
myProgressBar.source = "_root";
myProgressBar.conversion = "1";
myProgressBar.label = "LOADING %3%%";
myProgressBar.direction = "right";
myProgressBar.labelPlacement = "bottom";
myProgressBar.setStyle("themeColor",0x000000);
stop();

How do I add a progress bar to a flash? And is it necessary to make a progress bar? because sometimes when i play a flash game thats really large (file size) sometimes the flash window is just a blank white screen. is that because the flash game is loading?
If that's true than can someone tell me how to make one, that's accurate to how much is loaded?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Any help is greatly appreciated! Also, my preloader used to go straight into the main movie and now when I test the entire movie it requires me to right click to "play" the movie. ?!?!?!?!

Help With Progress Bar
Hi, All . . .

I'm about at my wits end. I created a slide show that I did not at first expect would need a "Loading" progress bar. Now that we're in the testing phase, there is enough of a lag to warrant one. I have utilized the Help files, consulted a couple of books I have, searched through past posts on this forum, and googled the topic for for direction. I have, at this point, tried many different methods--too numerous to recount or remember right now--that have not worked. I don't think I mis-copied any of the various coding I've tried, and I don't know if there were steps omitted in the coding that I did not pick up on. So, I'm here to ask if anyone can help guide me through the process.

Thanks,

Chris

MC Progress Bar
Gentlefolk;

I want to create a progress bar that shows how far the movie has progressed. The movie is a fairly long call center simulation, and some of these are 2 mins., some are 10 mins. or so. So and idea of where the user is in viewing this illustration would be useful.

I am trying to crib from the Flash help file, and have come up with:

-------------------
var pctLoaded:Number = Math.round(mcMain._currentframe()/mcMain._totalframes()*100;
bar_mc._xscale = pctLoaded;
bar_mc._x = 0;
bar_mc._y = 500;

----------------

But that generates the following error:
--------------------
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=action, frame=1:Line 63: ')' or ',' expected
var pctLoaded:Number = Math.round(mcMain._currentframe()/mcMain._totalframes()*100;

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
--------------

What am I doing wrong, and if that script above is debugged, will it create a progress bar that increments and decrements as the user works through the MC?

I will need to specify X-Y coordinates for the "bar_mc", but figure that is a simple:
bar_mc._x = 0;
bar_mc._y =500;

Thank you for any thoughts.

Mp3 Progress Bar
I have a simple .fla that loads an mp3 dynamically using this script:

on (release) {
mySound.loadSound("http://www.antoniomusic.com/audio/MusicIsBorn.mp3",true);
}

I need to create a progress bar preloader to play while the mp3 is being located and served. The tuts I've been finding have so many other features that at my current level I can't sort through the AS to get what I need. Does anyone know of a simple progress bar preloading script I can use on these mp3's?

Progress
Following is exactly 25 line of code which can be used to signify the progress

i = 1;
j = 100;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("bubble", i);
fdrawMovie(eval("_root.bubble"), 10, 100, 10, 2);
function fdrawMovie(ref, org_x, org_y, r, angle) {
j = eval(ref)._x=j+25;
eval(ref)._y = org_y;
with (ref) {
onEnterFrame = function () {
lineStyle(5, 0x6D6D36);
lineTo((newx+org_x), newy);
moveTo((newx+org_x), newy);
lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF);
lineTo((org_x-newx), newy);
moveTo((org_x-newx), newy);
newy = r*Math.cos(angle);
newx = Math.sqrt((r*r)-(newy*newy));
angle = angle+2;
if (angle>45) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("bubble"+_root.i, ++_root.i);
_root.fdrawMovie(eval("_root.bubble"+_root.i), 10, 100, 10, 2);
}
};
}
}

i could have put the function to draw the line with x,y as the arguments ..but it was not making much differance for number of lines. as i had to draw only two types of lines..

looking forward for comments ....

Progress Bar
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone could point me to some information or an example on implementing a progress bar in Flex?

I've dragged and dropped a progress bar onto my design and I was wondering how I could implement a timer or something similar showing the progress?

I'm writing a flex front-end for an installation program and I want to have a progress bar showing how much of the application they've downloaded and how much is left?
Or maybe how much time has elapsed and how much time is left! Something like that!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a mil in advance

Derm
