00:00 come on
00:10 so in this video we're going to be
00:11 looking at timers progress bars and
00:14 counters so let's start off by looking
00:16 at these timer bars and progress bars
00:19 as we see here we have two different
00:21 styles of timer bars we have the ability
00:23 to actually have a bar that goes along
00:26 the entire edge of our slider as well as
00:29 this animated ring
00:32 and then our progress bars are basically
00:34 styled similar to our timer bars but the
00:38 size of that is basically progresses
00:40 along with the progression of your
00:42 slider so we actually get the progress
00:45 that we are within our overall slider
00:48 timeline
00:51 so adding these are super simple they're
00:53 all within the child menu of moving box
00:57 so you can go and add our counters or
00:58 progress bars so let's have a look at
01:01 the timer bar here we have the ability
01:03 to customize the color so the back color
01:05 as well as the background color as well
01:07 as the foreground color the size of that
01:09 timer bar so how tall or wide is it and
01:12 then your location uh you can have it on
01:15 the left or right side
01:17 um if you want it to actually fill the
01:18 entire side so if we want to kind of
01:20 picture what that looks like let's go
01:21 ahead and do right
01:24 here we see if we set the position to be
01:26 right the progress bar is actually on
01:28 the right side and we can actually also
01:30 say where to start from so instead of
01:33 starting from the bottom we can actually
01:34 start from the center
01:36 you'll notice when we start from the
01:37 center of this slide it actually kind of
01:40 grows up so it's very interesting the
01:43 ring timer has very similar
01:45 configurations where we have a color as
01:47 well as the size of the circle as well
01:49 as the thickness of the stroke uh and
01:52 then we kind of place this anywhere we
01:54 want within the Four Corners so do we
01:56 want to the top top bottom left right
01:59 with these buttons
02:02 now the progress bar pretty much it has
02:05 the same exact settings as the timer bar
02:07 just the underlying functionality is
02:10 different
02:11 now remember if you haven't watched the
02:14 Styles video that we have on moving box
02:16 you can actually use the Swatch colors
02:19 to actually customize the colors of the
02:22 progress bars timers as well as captions
02:26 now the last thing in this video we're
02:27 going to cover is the counter stack and
02:29 essentially what this does is it gives
02:31 you like a counter so slide one of four
02:34 or so on and so forth on your particular
02:37 slides so if we preview this you'll see
02:40 that I have one of four and in the
02:43 settings for this stack is really simple
02:44 we have the color as well as the text
02:46 size and then the position that you'd
02:48 want to position this
02:50 now you're not stuck with the verbiage
02:53 one of four
02:56 because if we double click this you'll
02:58 see that this is just some HTML so if
03:01 you just want to have a stack so if you
03:03 want to you know customize the look The
03:05 basically the language here if you're
03:07 you know of is not your language
03:09 um you can customize this to be Spanish
03:11 or German or Italian or whatever
03:13 language you see fit now however you
03:16 will also notice that these just have a
03:18 bunch of classes
03:20 so if you you don't necessarily need to
03:23 use this stack you can actually use
03:25 whatever stack you want as long as you
03:28 put in the MB slide index class that
03:32 whatever you put that class on will
03:34 actually get updated with the current
03:36 index
03:38 count
03:39 and then if you have MB slide count
03:41 class
03:42 whatever that will has will
03:45 automatically be uh converted to be the
03:47 actual slide count
03:49 let's see this in action
03:51 so here we have an example where I just
03:53 added two header Stacks in here and all
03:55 I did is added the classes that I talked
03:57 about earlier we have MB slide index and
04:00 MB slide count
04:02 I added in some words in here
04:05 um just to show you that these date this
04:08 data will actually get replaced with the
04:10 current data dynamically for moving box
04:12 and there you have it we have the uh
04:15 slide index as well as the slide count
04:17 now if I go ahead and change slides
04:19 you'll see that the actual index number
04:22 changed now the total count is never
04:24 going to change because our number of
04:26 slides aren't Dynamic right but as we
04:29 change the slides you'll see that these
04:31 actual index count will dynamically be
04:34 displayed
04:36 but what I would recommend is instead of
04:38 starting with some random number
04:39 actually put in you know the actual
04:41 starting value of the first slide so one
04:44 of four or something of that nature
04:47 now if you are curious of other
04:49 um class classes available to you within
04:52 moving box there is a moving box class
04:54 reference that you can leverage for all
04:57 kinds of cool stuff
04:59 um from swatches to your own CSS to
05:01 other great things
