Setting up a basic progress bar

[adaykin]

Hey, I am trying to setup a basic progress bar that moves from 1 to 100%, and reflects that in a label too. However my label moves from 1 to 100 without reflecting any of the numbers in between.


private function runBar():void
{
setTimeout(moveBar, 2000);
}

private function moveBar():void
{
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
{
progressBar.setProgress(i, 100);
progressBar.label= "CurrentProgress" + " " + i + "%";

trace(i);
}
runBar();
}

A for loop like this will execute far too quickly for you to see any numbers other than 1 and 100 on the label.

Also, you have a rather nasty bug in your code. The call to runBar() at the end of moveBar will cause a nasty infinite loop that will leak memory. :o

What determines your progress? Your code just shows the progress of a loop from 0 to 100 (not to mentioned the bug). Are you trying to show some download progress, the execution of a large algorithm, or something else entirely? You will need to answer this question to solve your problem, but essentially need to advance your progress bar relative to the actual progress.
