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:
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.
