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:
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| default size | 150 pixels wide by 4 pixels high |
| Minimum size | 0 pixels |
| Maximum size | Undefined |

Specifies the method used to update the bar. Use one of the following values in MXML:
eventThe control specified by thesourceproperty 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 thesourceproperty extends the EventDispatcher class.polledThesourceproperty must specify an object that exposesbytesLoadedandbytesTotalproperties. The ProgressBar control calls these methods to update its status.manualYou manually update the ProgressBar status. In this mode you specify themaximumandminimumproperties and use thesetProgress()property method to specify the status. This mode is often used when theindeterminateproperty istrue.
In ActionScript, you can use use the following constants to set this property:
