Hi, While you can easily copy files using an Xtra like DirectOS, and can even create your own progress bar using an animated GIF, you will always have a static display while the computer hangs there & grinds away as it copies each file. It won't update until it's completed! Of course users expect the standard display of a bar or animation indicating how the copy is proceeding. Check out the ProgessCopy Xtra from UpdateStage. The ProgressCopy Xtra copies files with an optional progress bar display. The progress display can include a custom text message, and provides the user with a Cancel button. You can get more information, read the on-line documentation, download a fully functional demo version or purchase the Xtra here: http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/progresscopy.html Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac Director versions supported: 5,6,7,8,8.5 Authorware 3.5 and up Author: Glenn Picher Hope that this is of use, Al Hospers Marketing Associate UpdateStage alhospers<at>updatestage<dot>com http://www.updatestage.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
