I have a script that creates a bunch of records, and it takes upwards
of 10 seconds to complete the task. Between the time the user gives
the go-ahead to do it and the time the task runs to completion, I'd
like to flash a brief message on the screen saying "Thanks. Please
wait a bit.". This is NOT a dialog ("di-" implies that the user may
have something to say back), it's a monolog — 1-way, from me to the
user, no response expected or desired.
I figured I could probably achieve this objective just by inserting a
Show Custom Dialog step and not entering anything in any of the 3
button-label boxes, then following it with a Pause/Resume Script step
with a duration of 1 second. Alas, foiled. FMP automatically displays
my dialog box with an "OK" button.
Anyone got any hints about how I can just flash my monolog box?
