    Hide Modal Dialog at Startup

    Alright. Thanks for the help. I didn't know that Model dialogs had to be shown. I was trying to make an application that doesn't show it's main window unless the user requested it.

    Hide Modal Dialog at Startup

    Is there any way to hide the main window (which is also modal) at startup (so that it does not display at all, in a way that the user will not see it until he requests it) in an MFC application? I've tried the SetWindowPos and ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) methods and none of them work. I've even set...

    How do you make a progress bar work?

    Thanks. This may seem strange, but I couldn't get it to work using Netscape Navigator 6.2. (It uses Flash 5, unlike IE6, which uses Flash 6). All it shows is a black screen with nothing on it. I right-click the movie and it has two options: Movie still loading, and About Macromedia Flash 5)...

    How do you make a progress bar work?

    That one is pretty cool. However, I was also able to create my own using the 'loader.fla' document and implementing part of thatreowned's code in it, but instead of making it an animation, I used wangbar's idea of using the _xscale method. However, Instead of making a single bar...

    Cool. Unfortunately, the only one I found had it's comments in German! I can't understand German, so I guess I'll have to figure out the code myself...

    How do you make a progress bar work?

    First make an animation of a bar getting longer, name the instance 'bar', put it into the 'loader.fla' document. Next, you have to implement thatrenowned's code inside of the 'this.onEnterFrame = function()' on frame 1 of layer 1. To make an animation, you must know a little bit about tweening.

    How do you make a progress bar work?

    That's strange. I couldn't load symbols on the FScrollPane 'MainWindowScroll' (which was on the _root level) until I changed it to _level0.loader.MainWindowScroll in my 'to be loaded' document.

    How do you make a progress bar work?

    There is even an easier way to use the 'loader.swf' document. All you have to do is to first let it load the document into the blank 'loader' movie, then, after it's done, use the if comparison with the 'PERCENTAGE' string (make it true if equal to "100%"), and then make the...

    To: SPYDERIX The action script resides in frame one of the layer. All you have to do is to replace 'content.swf' to the filename of your flash movie, and you are on your way! Also, please note that all references to _root.object must be changed to _level0.loader.object -- Josh

    How do you make a progress bar work?

    Thanks for the info. How do u make such a preloader movie that loads the other movie while the preloader is being displayed (what oldnewbie said). I used a LOT of linkage in my movie.

    How do you make a progress bar work?

    I'm trying to make a progress bar in a flash movie. I found a tutorial on a website : (http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gurusnetwork.com%2Ftutorials%2Fflash%2Fprogress_bar1.html) I followed everything step-by-step and the flash movie still won't...
