Revolution has a progress bar object - it is a variation of the scrollbar so you can get to it in the Tools palette by holding down the mouse button on the scrollbar button until the sub-menu pops out and offers you the progress bar.

When you have made your progress bar, there are two properties you need to control programmatically: endValue and thumbPosition

The easiest way is just to use the file count, unless you want to get really fancy and use the file size as well. Assuming you are going for file count, I have added some extra lines to your script below:

on mouseUp
  answer folder "Please choose a folder:"
  put it into destFolder
  set the itemDelimiter to "/"
  put field 1 into theFiles
put the number of lines in theFiles into fileCount
set the endValue of scrollbar "Progress" to fileCount
set the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Progress" to 0
show scrollbar "Progress"
put 0 into currentFileNumber

  repeat for each line f in theFiles
    put destFolder & "/" & last item of f into newFile
    revCopyFile f, newFile
add 1 to currentFileNumber
set the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Progress" to currentFileNumber

end repeat
set the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Progress" to \
   the endValue of scrollbar "Progress"
hide scrollbar "Progress"

end mouseUp

Now when I click the button to transfer the files listed, it works perfectly, however, there is no indication of the progress of the copy.
When you copy files using windows explorer you get a progress bar; is there a way to show the progress of the copy-action in revolution?
