counter help

[Dynamite]

I created a counter and set it to horizontal bar. for some reason it is invisible when i run the app. i turned the same object into a counter and everything was fine. i dont understand why this is happening.

here are the options:

Display options:
[X] visible at start
[X] Display as backround
Backround options:
[X] Save backround
Ink effect:
[X] Transparent
Ink effect | NONE
[ ] Anti-aliasing

Settings
Value
Initial Value | 0
Minimum value | 0
Maximum value | 100
Display
Type | Horizontal bar
Count | From left
Fill type |Solid colour
Colour |(Blue) RGB=0,0,255

Runtime options
none ticked

this is all the info i can give you about the counter. the reason why i am telling you all this is that i really need to fix this problem as soon as possible. i am working on a big project so any help can be something big for me. Thanx!

What is the background colour of the frame?

the frame? white

Hmmm, try removing the tick from the invisible at start box, saving the file and running it again. Then replace the tick and see what happens.

(Just a stab in the dark, this one).

To get horizontal bars to work you must set the minimum and maximum values in the counter properties. <See this topic for more details>
