Hi James,
You wrote this about a month and a half ago, and it seemed like such a
brilliant way to get around the copying files "freeze" that I've been
waiting for an opportunity to use it.
Well, the situation has arose, but for some reason when I am copying files
locally on the hard drive ( from c: to c: ), the updating doesn't happen, I
still get the "freeze" until the progress has finished copying.

Ive tried the getStreamStatus(gCopyFileNetID) both in a prepareFrame script
looping in a frame, and also called from a timeout script.  neither updates
until the file has been fully copied.
Interestingly, it works when copying from the internet, with a http://.

Could this be a limitation of copying local files??

Hi Josie,

You can use downloadNetThing() to copy a file from one local disk to
another.  Use "file:///diskName/folder/filename.xxx" as the URL.  You can
update your weird load graphic on exitFrame, as you check for netDone(), or
you can use tellStreamStatus(TRUE) and update the graphic inside an on
streamStatus() handler.

Cheers,

James
