topWhat does dynamic/run-time customization means?

The customization of the component is either skin or color based and you can dynamically alter the look of the components at run-time using these properties to get one or more component instances having a different look.

If you are using the skin properties you need to have the Progress Bar assets symbols in the library exported for ActionScript.

topWhat kind of objects can be set as targets for the Progress Bar?

The Progress Bar supports any kind of object that states the amount of current loaded data and total data (eg: Movie Clip, XML, Sound, Loader, Flashtuning Table Renderer).

topWhere can I find a Quick Start Guide for the component?

You can check the Flashtuning Progress Bar - Getting Started guide available in the Tutorials area. This guide is also available in the component download package.

topWhy does the content load before the Progress Bar displays a completed progress?

The Progress Bar fill animation is tween based (each Progress Bar step fill animation duration depends on the value set for the easeDelay parameter).

To prevent the loading content being displayed before the actual Progress Bar completes the fill animation hide the visual objects by default and implement the onProgress and onLoadComplete events to handle the loading objects status and perform various actions.

Check the Sample 1 included in the Downloads area of the component for a better understanding on how the Progress Bar works.
