The DownloadProgressBar class displays download progress. It is used by the Preloader control to provide user feedback while the application is downloading and loading.

The download progress bar displays information about two different phases of the application: the download phase and the initialization phase.

In the Application container, use the the preloader property to specify the name of your subclass.

You can implement a custom download progress bar component by creating a subclass of the DownloadProgressBar class. Do not implement a download progress bar as an MXML component because it loads too slowly.

A subclass of the DownloadProgressBar class should never modify this property. Instead, you can override the setter method to recognize when the Preloader control modifies it, and perform any necessary actions.

The default value is false.

Updates the display of the download progress bar with the current download information. A typical implementation divides the loaded value by the total value and displays a percentage. If you do not implement this method, you should create a progress bar that displays an animation to indicate to the user that a download is occurring.

The setProgress() method is only called if the application is being downloaded from a remote server and the application is not in the browser cache.

Parameters

	`completed:Number` — Number of bytes of the application SWF file that have been downloaded.

	`total:Number` — Size of the application SWF file in bytes.

Returns

Boolean — If the return value is true, then show the download progress bar. The default behavior is to show the download progress bar if more than 700 milliseconds have elapsed and if Flex has downloaded less than half of the bytes of the SWF file.
