Progress box on save

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bill,

Just create another window with a progress bar. While you run your  
script, set the thumbPos of scrollbar 1 of this new stack to a  
particular number. Close the window when the script is done. In your  
repeat loop, you need to send messages to the progress bar to have it  
set the thumbPos to the correct value and you need to wait with messges.

on foo
   go stack "Your Progress Window" as modeless -- show stack in new  
window
   go back
   repeat with x = 1 to 100
     -- do your stuff here
     send "setThumbPos x" to stack "Your Progress Window"
     wait 0 millisecs with messages -- give Rev time to update screen
   end repeat
   close window "Your Progress Window"
end foo

In the stack "Your Progress Window" you would have the following  
handler:

on setThumbPos x
   set the thumbPos of scrollbar 1 to x
end setThumbPos

Before you run these scripts, set the startValue of scrollbar 1 to 0  
and the endValue to 100.

Best,

Mark
