How about taking a screengrab just before you run the loop, place that over the top of the content that changes, layer the progress thingy over that and then delete the screengrab and hide the thingy when the loop is done?

However, while the loop is running, I would like to have a progress bar and a message such as "step 1/20" etc. How can I handle that ? I took a look at callbacks, but unless I missed something, it seems limited to players. Thank you in advance. jbv _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
