Error updating a progress palette window

Question

I am updating the progress palette window for each file executed using the fileIterator code that Bob was kind enough to provide. I am updating the status text with the name of each file. This works the first and second time, but on the third iteration I am getting the error:
Processed ( 0 ): 2005-01-12_0026nanaimo%20second%20growth.jpg
Processed ( 1 ): 20050104_0004.jpg
{LiveObject("StaticText").property(0x027f9a58)} is undefined
When I look at the statictext member it no longer has a text field in the data browser.
Has anyone encountered this type of error?

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.
