Property Detail
labelproperty
label:String

Sets the label for the progress value. If set after the showPercent value, this value will override the showPercent property.

The following listing uses a PercentageBar to display a status message during a load operation:

         myPercentage = new PercentageBar();
         myPercentage.setPosition(400, 300);                
         myPercentage.width = 200;
         myPercentage.height = 30;
         myPercentage.progress = 0;
         myPercentage.setTextFormat(percentFormat);
         myPercentage.label = "Loading..."
         

A percentage bar.

Constructor Detail
PercentageBar()Constructor
public function PercentageBar()

Creates a new ProgressBar instance.

Method Detail
setTextFormat()method
public function setTextFormat(format:TextFormat):void

Set the TextFormat for the item. The TextFormat object defines the text formatting for the percentage label. In the following listing, a TextFormat object is instantiated and applied to the PercentageBar:

         var percentlFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
         percentlFormat.size = 20;
         percentlFormat.bold = true;
         percentlFormat.italic = true;
         
         myPercentage.setTextFormat(percentlFormat);
         this.addChild(myPercentage); 
         

Parameters

format:TextFormat — The TextFormat object to apply to the label.

Examples
The following listing creates a PercentageBar instance. It contains a simple timer routine that is used to update the progress value.
