Progress bar
October 15, 2008 12:00 AM
I don't know for certain if this is possible or not. I'm inclined to guess that it's not, but please don't take my word for it. Wait for someone with more knowledge to chime in.But, in case I'm right, I have a suggestion. If the learner does not have control of the animation, then you can fake a progress bar. Time the length of the animation and define milestones in your progress bar. It's probably easier if I make up an example.Let's say your animation is 90 seconds long and your progress bar updates every 10% (9 seconds). You define 11 actions on the page.On Page Show: Set Progress 0%On Timer 9 sec: Set Progress 10%On Timer 18 sec: Set Progress 20%...On Timer 81 sec: Set Progress 90%On Timer 90 sec: Set Progress 100%Of course, this does not work at all if the learner is able to pause or rewind the animation. But, if the animation just plays through, then this trick could work.Another caveat: I haven't used Progress Bars, so my understanding of how you can set them may be off a little bit.Kevin
