Error updating a progress palette window

Darn, I was kinda enjoying your one man thread....

Glad it's gone away.

Hi Bob

I am not encountering the problem anymore. It went away when I did a clean reboot of my computer.

Rory,

I assume you're playing with the BridgeTalkIterator?

If so, when you add your message to the Iterator queue, the arguments are:

btIterator.addMessage( target, script, filename )

If you include the file name on the addMessage call, it will show the filename in the progress palette for you.

As for the amazing disappearing statictext element, I have no idea how that could be happening from the iterator itself.

Could you post the line(s) of code you are using to update the progress palette? It's possible you are overwriting a key property or method name of the statictext element.

Well, it worked for a while. I am still getting the

{LiveObject("StaticText").property(0x027f9a58)} is undefined

error.

I'm a one man thread!

This works:

dittoStatus.setStatus1 = function( txt ) {
this.status1.active;
this.status1.text = txt;
}

The trick appears to be to make sure the control you are updating has the focus.

I discovered a delay in the adobelibrary1 code, and tried injecting a delay as follows:

dittoStatus.setStatus1 = function( txt ) {
$.sleep( 1500 );
this.status1.text = txt;
}

This helps sometimes, other times the code still fails with the same error.
