Hi,

I have created a progress bar in flash that is updated using a percentage value sent to a variable. I am updating this value during the loop however, the value is not being changed until after the loop has finished.

Is there anyway i can force the flash movie to update itself??? I have tried the Update, Refresh and Repaint Methods on both the Form and the Flash Movie but no luck thus far

Many thanks

Rudy

Thank you for your question.
Try move the code of the cycle in a separate thread. Hope it helps.

use :

FlashPlayerControl1.SetVariable('txtProgressStatusMessage','MyText');
sleep(200);
application.ProcessMessages;

The sleep value needed is dependant on the framrate in your flash file, try to experiment a little.

There is also a more complex way setting variables in the flas by using _root.variable

Look in other treads for more tips.
