The ProgressBar control provides a visual representation of the progress of a task over time. There are two types of ProgressBar controls: determinate and indeterminate.

A determinate ProgressBar control is a linear representation of the progress of a task over time. You use a determinate ProgressBar when the scope of the task is known. It displays when the user has to wait for an extended amount of time.

An indeterminate ProgressBar control represents time-based processes for which the scope is not yet known. As soon as you can determine the scope, you should use a determinate ProgressBar control.

The ProgressBar control has the following default characteristics:

Specifies the method used to update the bar. Use one of the following values in MXML:

  • event The control specified by the source property must dispatch progress and completed events. The ProgressBar control uses these events to update its status. The ProgressBar control only updates if the value of the source property extends the EventDispatcher class.
  • polled The source property must specify an object that exposes bytesLoaded and bytesTotal properties. The ProgressBar control calls these methods to update its status.
  • manual You manually update the ProgressBar status. In this mode you specify the maximum and minimum properties and use the setProgress() property method to specify the status. This mode is often used when the indeterminate property is true.

In ActionScript, you can use use the following constants to set this property: ProgressBarMode.EVENT, ProgressBarMode.POLLED, and ProgressBarMode.MANUAL.
