progress bar

[Mark Smith]

I think I'd do something like:

button script:

on mouseDown
   send "startProgressing" to sb theProgressBar
end mouseDown

on mouseUp
   send "reset" to sb theProgressBar
end mouseUp


and in the sb script:

on startProgressing
   set the thumbPos of me to the thumbPos of me + 1
   send "startProgressing" to me in 20 milliseconds -- pick a value  
that suits
end startProgressing

on reset
   get lineOffset("startProgressing", the pendingMessages)
   if it > 0 then cancel item 1 of line it of the pendingMessages
   set the thumbPos of me to 0
end reset

Best,

Mark
