Helloo!
I'm having trouble getting my progress bar to update. I post the new control values, but it doesn't get a chance to redraw until either the End, or if I hit a breakpoint using ExtendScript Toolkit.
It DOES correctly disappear (close) at the end.
I'm setting a bunch of keyframes in a big loop. Takes a little time, nice to show the progress.
Oh, I'll show the code too. It's longish, sorry. Thanks for any advices!
Caller
var pb = progressBar("Setting " + notes.length + " Keyframes"); for(var
i = 0; i < notes.length; i++) { pb.setValue(i / notes.length); tp.setValueAtTime(note.time,note.text);
} pb.close();
Progress Bar Handy Object
/* Easy to use progress bar for ExtendScript.

Enjoy, but this credit must remain intact.
usage:
var pb = progressBar("main title","subtitle"); pb.setValue(valueFrom0to1);
pb.setTitle2("new subtitle display!")
if(pb.isCanceled())
pb.close(); // they clicked cancel
* / function progressBar(title1,title2)
{
var result = new Object();
result.running = true;
result.p = new Window("palette");
result.p.orientation = "column";
result.p.alignChildren = "left";
result.t1 = result.p.add("statictext",undefined,title1); result.t2 =
result.p.add("statictext",undefined,title2);
result.b = result.p.add("progressbar");
result.c = result.p.add("button",undefined,"Cancel"); result.c.onClick
= function() {
result.running = false;
}
result.isRunning = function() { return this.running; } result.isCanceled
= function() { return !this.isRunning(); }
result.setValue = function(x) { this.b.value = x * 100; }
result.setTitle1 = function(t1) { this.t1.text = t1; }
result.setTitle2 = function(t2) { this.t2.text = t2; }
result.close = function() { this.p.close(); }
result.p.show(); return result;
}
