widget.newProgressView() POOR EXAMPLES

looking at the corona APIs, i found widget.newProgressView() which i think is a cool tool to use in loading screens.unfortunately, there is poor documentation on how to use it…the commands are there but how do i implement it?? i copied the example but it is a static “progress bar” it’s not moving…how do i make it move for Gs sake??  im just a beginner so. .

Try this tutorial, it covers updating the progress view towards the end:

Anyone have an idea on how to change the color of the bar?

Nothing that I can see in examples or docs.

I want to use it like a gas gauge - and change the color to yellow - as you get closer to being out, and then red when you are almost out.

We are on the same boat… I wanted to use this widget but the documentation that comes with it is very poor.   I’m still trying to figure out  the implementation of the sprite sheet as I wanted to have different colors at different percentage… but I’m kinda confused how it works.
