Boss-Screen script?

its friday, work done, cant go home yet. time slacking, browsing net, checking smartphone…

 

i have idea helpful script, , hope scriptui-xperts can create ease, while js-skills not endowed.

 

the idea:

a fake print-progress-dialog/palette

…because ind unusable while printing.

 

the challange:

a printwindow-look-a-like, throw random strings , pushes progress bars around.

 

the usage:

i want browse net smartphone. call script, palette semms important stuff, , cant work ind in time. boss comes in, ind printing, yeah...then fine in meantime.

 

and please keep simple, 1 can modify strings match used language :-)

 

whos it?

re: js scriptui cs4: how create indeterminate progress bar?

 

or use

 

var found = new array (50); var w = new window ('palette','priniting'); w.pbar = w.add ('progressbar', undefined, 0, found.length); w.pbar.preferredsize.width = 300;   w.show(); (var = 0; < found.length; i++){ w.pbar.value = i+1; $.sleep(2000); // useful here }
