Ok… I don’t know why I’m having so much trouble with masks… everything looks right to me ( I’ve already gotten my VOLUME mask to work…
Volume Article , and I’m following the same steps to get my Download Progress Bar to work)…
//--------------------------[ download Progress Bar Function ]------------------\\
function showDownloadProgress() {
mcc8.setMask(greenMask1);
mcc8.onEnterFrame = function() {
var soundLoaded:Number = mysound.getBytesLoaded();
var soundTotal:Number = mysound.getBytesTotal();
soundDLPercent=((soundLoaded/soundTotal)*100);
trace("sound DL % " + soundDLPercent);
greenMask1._width=(soundDLPercent*2);
trace("greenMask1 width = " + greenMask1._width);
if (soundLoaded == soundTotal) {
delete mcc8.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
//--------------------------[ /download Progress Bar Function ]------------------\\
Just to walk ya thru it,
mcc8 is a green bar… 
greenMask1 is just a blue bar that is the same shape and size.
What I’m trying to do, is attach the mask to the green bar, and as I re-size the mask, more of the green bar will be exposed.
(ps: the math may look off, but that is because I’m using an image that is 200 pixels wide)
So far, I have been able to attach the mask to the green bar… so the bar dissapears… but when I try to make the mask bigger, nothing happens.
When I run a Trace… I get this… it looks like its working!
Trace:
green mask back to 1
sound DL % 3.40688723330606
greenMask1 width = 6.8
sound DL % 20.5863234785071
greenMask1 width = 41.15
sound DL % 34.322241409151
greenMask1 width = 68.65
sound DL % 51.4921388224558
greenMask1 width = 103
sound DL % 65.2375955849959
greenMask1 width = 130.45
sound DL % 100
greenMask1 width = 200
Thanks for your help =)
