A hint:

“Basic components don’t work when compiled in Flex 4 and run on player 9 (TextInput, TextArea, DateField, NumericStepper etc)”

hi guys,

i first stumbled into a progress bar that does not “progress”, even with a manual mode, minimum and maximum set explicitly. when i reach the end of the loop, the bar suddenly shows 100%!!!. i looked up and found this page, and then i realized it was not about my code (very simple code looping through an array of 3600 items — sample below).

when i debug and step into ProgressBar.as/_setProgress(), the arguments are being passed correctly to the private vars _value, and _maximum.

still no solution. anyone else?

thanks.

—– code sample —
MXML:

AS3:

var progressBarValue:uint = 0;
var progressBarMaximum:Number = file.split("n").length; //3600 lines

trace( progressBarMaximum, "lines" );
progressBar.maximum = progressBarMaximum;

for each ( var line:String in file.split("n") ) {

    /* get lines that start with a digit */
    if ( line.match(/^d+/) ) {
        progressBar.setProgress( ++progressBarValue, progressBarMaximum);

—– end of code sample —-

Thanks everybody,

The workaround seems to be using slider.maximum or hardcoding 360 instead of relying on progressBar.maximum.

I’ve filed a bug for this at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-16752 and we will investigate it further to see if this is a Flex SDK issue or possibly a Flash Player issue.

Feel free to add any bug-related comments to the bug in the Flex bug base, SDK-16752.

This looks to be like a bug in flex. I see same problem. “progressBar.maximum” is getting defaulting to 0. Change it to 360, and it will run fine.

This example does not work for me either.

Incidentally, I’m using 9,0,124,0 (debug)…and it looks like everyone else who can’t get it to work is using the 9,0,124,0 version of the player.
