Progress bar (app.thermometer) ???

Question

Need to display a progress bar using thermomter object while invoking a web service.
Lets assume the function loadWebService() has the logic to connect and retrieve data from a web service.
Can anyone drop a few lines of code to implement this logic??
I have tried the following it doesn't works:
line 1: var tObj = app.thermometer;
line 2: tObj.duration = 100000;
line 3: tObj.begin();
line 4: loadWebService();
//optionally i ve included the following lines too
line 5: for(var i=0;i<100000;i++)
line 6:   {
line 7:        tObj.text = "Processing, please wait";
line 8:   }
line 9: tObj.end();
Thanks,
Nith

Just tried your code and it works for me ...the only thing that I noticed is that you never actual update the progress bar .....if you add the command:
tObj.value = i
to the inside of your loop, then it works as I would expect.
