Sarah, Thanks for the reply. I've tried using load stack URL http://www.x12help.com/x12provider.rev"; but it errors. I've only been successful with "go" Here's the code I'm using in a button:
on mouseUp go stack URL "http://www.x12help.com/x12provider.rev"; end mouseUp Is there some other syntax for "load" ?

Jeff I haven't done it using stacks, but I have done it for downloading pictures from the web and I guess it's much the same. Firstly, you need to use "load" instead of "go". This is non-blocking and reports it's status so you can show what's happening. Here is part of the handler I use to start a download. It sets the status callback object to a progress bar and then starts loading. When it is finished, it's going to call the "picDownloaded" handler. on downloadFile pAddress libURLSetStatusCallback "showStatus", the long ID of sb "Progress" of stack "Download" load URL pAddress with message "picDownloaded" end downloadFile In the script of the scrollbar, I have this: on showStatus pURL, pStatus if item 1 of pStatus = "loading" then put item 2 of pStatus into tNow put item 3 of pStatus into tEnd if the visible of sb "Progress" = false then -- hasn't started yet set the endValue of sb "Progress" to tEnd set the thumbPos of sb "Progress" to tNow show sb "Progress" else set the thumbPos of sb "Progress" to tNow end if else if pStatus = "error" then libURLSetStatusCallback set the dialogData to empty close this stack end if end showStatus which sets the range of the progress bar and shows it if not already visible, otherwise it just moves the progress bar. If there is an error, it gets out. Back in my download script, I have the handler that gets called after the download is finished. This is in the same script as the downloadFile handler: on picDownloaded pURL, pStatus libURLSetStatusCallback set the dialogData to URL pURL unload URL pURL end picDownloaded This puts the newloy downloaded data into a variable (I'm using the dialogData as it downloads from a separate dialog stack), and then unloads the file so that it isn't held in two places of memory at once. At this point, you could have a "go to stack pURL" line. Let me know if this doesn't work or if you have any further questions.
