this works. When the untitled folder appears, the progress bar disappears. What I would like is for the progress bar to go to 100%, then disappear. Cant figure out how to make that happen, I get an error that Finder needs permission.
It like the progress bar does not want to be inside the Tell Finder loop.
Any help would be appreciated.
set total_seconds to 100
set the_folder to (path to desktop as string) & "untitled folder" as string
set progress total steps to total_seconds
set progress description to "Script Progress"
set progress additional description to "Additional description"
repeat with i from 1 to total_seconds
set progress completed steps to i
delay 0.1
tell application "Finder"
if (exists folder the_folder) then
delay 1
exit repeat
end if
end tell
end repeat
figured it out. I made an app with XOJO that has in interface with buttons on it. Some buttons will mount a server at work and type your ID and PW for you. The code below should give the use a visual on the progress of the server being mounted. Hope this helps someone in a similar fashion.

tell application "Finder"
if (exists folder the_folder) then
set i to 100
delay 1
--exit repeat
end if
end tell
set progress completed steps to i
if i is equal to 100 then
delay 1
exit repeat
end if
delay 0.1
end repeat
