Question

Whenever I set a indeterminate progress bar in a modal pop-up via PopUpManager, there is no progress displayed. If I add the same ProgressBar to the parent regularly or make the pop-up non-modal it works. Is there a reason why it doesn’t work in modal pop-ups? and a way to make it work?

Thanks.

I have had some other developers look at this, it turns out it is a bug, but there is a work around..I’ll post my original code and then the altered code for the work around:

original:

private function showLoading(e:Event = null):void
            {
                if(_progBar == null)
                {
                    _progBar = new ProgressBar();
                    _progBar.width = 200;
                    _progBar.indeterminate = true;
                    _progBar.labelPlacement = 'center';
                    _progBar.setStyle("removedEffect", fade);
                    _progBar.setStyle("addedEffect", fade);
                    _progBar.setStyle("color", 0xFFFFFF);
                    _progBar.setStyle("borderColor", 0x000000);
                    _progBar.setStyle("barColor", 0xf4b60f);
                    _progBar.label = "";
                }
                PopUpManager.addPopUp(_progBar,this,true);
                PopUpManager.centerPopUp(_progBar);
            }

work around:

private function showLoading(e:Event = null):void
            {
                if(_progBar == null)
                {
                    _progBar = new ProgressBar();
                    _progBar.width = 200;
                    _progBar.indeterminate = true;
                    _progBar.labelPlacement = 'center';
                    _progBar.setStyle("removedEffect", fade);
                    _progBar.setStyle("addedEffect", fade);
                    _progBar.setStyle("color", 0xFFFFFF);
                    _progBar.setStyle("borderColor", 0x000000);
                    _progBar.setStyle("barColor", 0xf4b60f);
                    _progBar.label = "";
                    _progBar.mode = ProgressBarMode.MANUAL;
                }
                PopUpManager.addPopUp(_progBar,this,true);
                PopUpManager.centerPopUp(_progBar);
                 _progBar.setProgress(0, 0);
            }
