Most of my medium to heavy scripts are now performed on server. To give the users some feedback while they wait, I wanted a method that was simple and subtle. In this example I ;

1. added  a popover button with '+' icon
2. set the feedback message in the popover title bar
3. formatted, sized and positioned the popover  
4. added a OnObjectEnter script tigger to the popover
5. in the script I add a PSoS step with Wait for completion set to 'On'
6. last step of script is Close Popover

 

 

You can also use a WebViewer for animated text indication or icon.

see this CF for a html ticker:

or this to use a Base64 encoded animated GIF:

Very cool method!

I second a webviewer. If you are familiar with HTML/Javascript/CSS, you can create some really cool loading animations.
