 <snip>libUrl will then send the message at the same time as it updates the
urlStatus value.<snip>
I think the urlcallback message is more efficient and showstatus is
redundant. My *guess* is that when browsers download a large page (like this
list)  a similar function helps them append the html data progressively.. as
the chunks come in...

The correct syntax in your case should be ***libUrlFtpUploadFile*** because
tdata in the above line should have been the binary (binfile url) or
contents of the field (but it seem that the field contains the desired
filename)  but it was just the filename.

and by the way, there is an update in my script :

on urlCallback pUrl, pStatus
put pstatus into fld status
..manipulate the thumbposition of the scrollbar...
--if "loading" is item 1 of pstatus then set the thumbpos of sb 1 to (item 2
of pstatus/item 3 of pstatus)*(the endvalue of sb 1-startvalue of sb 1)
>>>>> Add the startvalue of sb 1 here and change the status to uploading!

if "uploading" is item 1 of pstatus then set the thumbpos of sb 1 to the
startvalue of sb 1 +(item 2
of pstatus/item 3 of pstatus)*(the endvalue of sb 1-startvalue of sb 1)
end urlCallback

Hope it helps..
