How to use progress bar

According to the docs:

"If the HCAddressing property is set to true, expressions in the stack's
scripts that refer to fields without specifying card or background are
assumed to refer to grouped controls, and expressions that refer to other
control types are assumed to refer to card controls."

This is why it affects progress bars, since they are an "other control
type". Since you put it into a group, you need to specify "background" in
order to address the object.

It also states:

"The values reported by the 'long' or 'abbreviated' name or ID will include
"card" or "backrgound" as the first word, depending on whether the control
is part of a group."

and finally:

"The style property of a button whose style is 'menu' reports 'popup'
instead. This is because HyperCard uses a style setting of 'popup' to
designate popup menus."
