Drop this behavior on a sprite, and it"s rect will be modified to match the percentage passed in Another sprite is needed to act as the bounding rect for the progress bar Use the SetProgressBar() method via sendSprite to tell the bar what percent to show Example: sendSprite( progressBarSprite, #SetProgressBar, 50 )
