Thank you.
In a future Livecode Global you should do a series on "How the Engine

A while back I created a Spinner standalone that listened for messages via
sockets. It worked quite well actually. I sent it commands to show and hide
itself, and start and stop the spinner, as well as text to display. Since it
was a standalone app it was not subject to the inline message
this is the exact same thing I was experiencing a few years back which
got me away from even referring to the defaultStack. Or topStack for that
matter. I was using wait and send in time a lot back then. Now I explicitly
refer to a stack by it's filename or better yet a card by it's long id.
A thingle is similar to a thimble but is available in much larger sizes.
Some are used as cake and cheese covers but the largest ones can fit over
the head, where some believe they protect from alien death rays and the
mmwaves that cell towers emit.

That's probably a better solution anyway because progress bars make the
wait seem faster since users can see something happening.

It's also possible to set the currentFrame of an animated gif, which would
do the same thing.

Thanks for the offer, but actually things are a bit more complicated

1- the user selects different options on a modal stack
2- the user clicks a "search" button

How many chars in the text?
I'd wager that unless it's uncommonly enormous, you may find that the
one-time cost of writing a handler to use the styledText array of the
field will speed things up so much you may not even need anything more
than a brief watch cursor.
If you can post a sample

When using 'wait 0 with messages' any messages in the pendingMessages

Is updateYourThingle a technical term?
What is a Thingle anyway?
I’m familiar with Thingy, but I haven’t seen a Thingle before.
Your definition appears to be: Some icon thing that spins around.
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist! ;-)

"Every ten lines"???
Is your handler using a loop to massage each of those lines? If so update the
scrollbar every 10 passes through.
So if you are using “repeat with…” you can do something like:
repeat with y = 1 to whatever
if y mod 10 = 0 then updateYourThingie
And if you are using
Another option is to use an SVG icon and rotate it a bit each time. Gives the
impression of a spinning object.

I thought of that, but it makes other parts of the script more

Is there a workaround for using "lock screen" and an
animated gif simultaneously ?
Thank you in advance.
