If you see my recent posts, I just had this exact same problem, check out the post I just made, if you need more details let me know, i can post the code I used.
Since flash is singlethreaded, you can NOT have a progress bar update in a loop. If you want to update a progress bar while you do work, you need to do a little bit of the work, wait a bit, do a little more, wait a bit, etc. Unfortunately, with the flex progress bar component you seem to have wait quite a while for it to update, so I ended up going with a custom one. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of MonkeyIsland Sent: Thu 3/4/2010 7:59 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] My APP momentarily freezes I pass through my A.C. and create my objects. Hello everyone, I'm having an issue updating my progress bar, it only displays 100% once completed. I've tried timers, callLaters, and anything else I could have thought of but then realized that my progress bar never updates because my app momentarily freezes as I pass through my ArrayCollection and create my objects... Is there a way to prevent my app from freezing? Thanks :) -David
