Using skins with the ProgressBar component

The ProgressBar component uses skins to represent the progress bar track, the completed bar, and an indeterminate bar. To skin the ProgressBar component while authoring, modify symbols in the Flash UI Components 2/Themes/MMDefault/ProgressBar Elements folder. For more information, see About skinning components in Using ActionScript 2.0 Components.

The track and bar graphics are each made up of three skins corresponding to the left and right caps and the middle. The caps are used "as is," and the middle is resized horizontally to fit the width of the ProgressBar instance.

The indeterminate bar is used when the ProgressBar instance's indeterminate property is set to true. The skin is resized horizontally to fit the width of the progress bar.

To create movie clip symbols for ProgressBar skins:

Select File > New and choose Flash File (ActionScript 2.0).
