[Flashcoders] Re: showing code progress with progress bar
Yeah, I actually do have a huge parse that I want to show progress on, but using ENTER_FRAME just seems like a hack. So I guess the answer to my question is no. Thanks everyone for the ideas! Yikes! I don't think he actually wants the loop to take any longer than necessary. I'm assuming he's got some sort of computationally expensive operation (huge parse or something) that he wants to show the progress. How about subdividing your loop into more manageable chunks that get called once a frame? -- -jonathan howe -Mac Angell ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] showing code progress with progress bar
Is it possible to show the progress of a code loop on a progress bar?
For example, if I have a progress bar named pbar already defined on
the stage, and I execute the following function:
private function init():void
{
var total:int = 10;
for (var i:int = 0; i total; i++)
{
pbar.setProgress(i, total);
stage.invalidate();
}
}
The progress bar jumps from 0% to 100% after a long pause (the for loop
executing). I am pretty sure this happens because the entire code loop
executes before the next frame gets rendered. As you can see I even
tried stage.invalidate(), but my guess is that it just tells the stage
to update on the next frame, instead of forcing the stage to update at
that exact time.
Is there any way to get this to work in AS3? In other words, is there
any way to force the screen to update in the middle of a code thread?
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Zipping in AS3
It is true that FZip can't read ZIPs created with the MAC OS X Archive utility, or any ZIP that makes us of data descriptors. For your other problem, i created a very simple Flex AIR app that tests roundtripping (creates a ZIP and loads it back in): http://codeazur.com.br/lab/fzip/examples/RoundTrip.mxml Works here.. And yes, in AIR the Adler32 limitation doesn't apply, so you should be able to load any ZIP (minus those that make use of data descriptors). You only need the injection hack if you use FZip in the plugin (and if i recall right Flash Player 10 is going to fix that but i didn't find the time to check). Cheers, Claus. http://codeazur.com.br/ Thanks Claus! Your example helps quite a bit. -Mac ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Cheers, Claus. http://codeazur.com.br/ Hey Claus, one of the reasons I can't use it is because of its inability to work with a .zip file created on Mac OSX. The other reason, is that I've attempted to use it to write out a .zip file, and I can't get it to produce a valid .zip file. I've even tried loading in a .zip, and then saving it out directly, and that doesn't seem to work. I have only tested this with AIR, so I assume I don't need to be testing this with a .zip file that contains the Adler32 checksum. Do you have a working example of this working with FZip? If so, I'd love to take a look at it. Thanks! -Mac ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Hello, Do you know how to get last browsed web page before current ? Is it possible to request it from web browser or it should be used any trick.
