FTP progress bar

The new library provides a hook into the url status with the function
libUrlSetStatusCallback. You dont need to poll for url status (with
urlstatus), it updates itself and sends any message you desire.

You can try this button script:

on mouseUp
 put url "binfile:test.txt" into url "ftp://un:pw@whatever.net"
 libUrlSetStatusCallback "urlCallback", (the long id of this button)
end mouseUp

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)

end urlCallback

Though i havent tested it, it should hopefully work. See the liburl docs
(for new features) in the runrev site for more...

Regards
Vikram
