You could do this a few different ways, the first one that comes into mind is having a variable which holds the number of items that you are going to load (images in this case) and then have your setProgressBarRange set to this variable.

For example:

+ Code Snippet

ImgName$(0)="Logo1.bmp"
ImgName$(1)="EndofTheWorld.png"
ImgName$(2)="roflomfg.bmp"
TotalImagesToLoad= ARRAY COUNT(ImgName$(0))

setProgressBarRange MyProgressBar,1,TotalImagesToLoad

for x=0 to TotalImagesToLoad-1
   LoadImage(ImgName$(x),x+1)
next x

Function LoadImage(MyImage$,ImgNum)
   Load Image MyImage$,ImgNum
   setProgressBarPos MyProgressBar,ImgNum
ENDFUNCTION

I didn't test the code out in the compiler, I just kind of threw it together for you in this forum post. There may be a typo or a bug or two
