assign a action/function to a button

Yes it does. Thank you David.

And thank you again for the tutorials. So what I manged to get out of this is this:   I created a window with a user/password fields, (from the other thread thank you :-), if login is verified, then it activates the progressbar and the bar Counts up with text and all. When the bar reaches 100%, then another button below the bar becomes visible and when you click that, it opens up another window.

So this is all for learning and study purpose only, but I am learning so much thanks to you.....

Cheers

Hmm. Okay, still learning... I changed the max values on the " minvalue:0, maxvalue:100", then it worked, Do I have to have a minValue/maxValue all the time I am using a progressbar??  I mean can it be self dynamiclly updating?? 

I.e  when i tried on comp2 with only 3 layers, and I have set the maxValue to 100, then it only displays 3 out 100 on the bar....

Also I had to change the "i <" to add a equal to it like so "i <=" in order to get the 100% and not the 99%...

Hi David

I created a comp item(1) and created 182 layers within that comp.

I want to link the progressbar to the loop like you said, so as i am going through them all, the progressbar should display.

Here is the code:

// PROGRESS BAR SET TO VISIBLE FALSE

    myStaticText.visible = true;  // False original

    progressBar.visible = true;  // False original

    myProBTN.onClick = function() {

     var proj = app.project;

     var myTotalItems = proj.item(1).numLayers;

     myStaticText.visible = true; 

     progressBar.visible = true;

    for(var i=0; i < myTotalItems; i++ ){

         percentage = Math.floor((i/myTotalItems)*100);

         myStaticText.text = percentage.toString() + "%";

         progressBar.value++; //Increases the progressbar value each loop

        }

       }

What am I missing here....   Please see the image below. When I hit the show progress button, the counter goes to 99% straight away, there is no visible color or movement from the the progressbar.

Then I created a another comp, with only 4 layers in it, when i run the script here, it goes straight away to 66 % and again with no movement...

Why does the counter not go up to 100% and why cant i see any movement in the actual bar??

Cheers

Ok. somehow by entering that line in manually, it worked... Thank you David..

I will see how this is connected. You just picked a random number 900000 to give it some time so we can see the progress.

Hi David

Please look at my screenshot, it does the same thing just like the other script you provided, it displays the error sound and highlights line 6. I am using extendscript cs6

I am really looking forward to learn this script

HRB, apologies for not showing that in the tutorial. Xavier is correct in how to use the handler call for your button.

The basic formation of code will be similar when checking for values or running your custom code. It would look similar to this.

controlElement.onClick = function(){

     //Run your code here

}

controlElement.onChange = function(){

     //Run your code here

}

controlElement.onChanging = function(){

     //Run your code here

}

...and so on.

In the JavaScript-Tools-Guide-CC.pdf‌ under the "Control types and creation parameters" section on Pg. 124 You will see a breakdown of element types (button, checkbox, etc.), and next to them a description that will talk about what event handler calls are made (onClick, onChange, and onChanging). Also under the "Control event-handling callbacks" on Pg. 147 you will see all of the handlers listed and to which control element they work with.

use the button onClick handler, something like this:

myPanel.grp.groupOne.MinButton.onClick = function(){

    app.project.items.addComp("newComp", 1920,1080, 10, 10, 25);

    return;

    };
