Browse All TopicsI am trying to implement a standard Flex 2 Progress Bar that is displayed until the a complex form is built. I have an mxml file that has a form that is being built. I have a number of dynamic comboboxes that I am populating from a database. It takes about 15 seconds or longer to complete. What I want to do is implement a standard progressbar in Flex 2 <mx:ProgressBar width="200"/>. I want the progress bar to be displayed in the middle of the screen(flash player) until the form is finished loading. I have attached the file that works perfectly when building the form. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Dave S.

Hi David,
You should be able to do this by implementing a creationComplete function, positioning your progress bar, then set the visibility to false after the long running operations have completed.
Hope that helps!
