Is there a better way?

[Jack_Mcphee]

Hi.

Does anybody know a better way to display text received from websites using MooSock. Now i am using rich media object to display the information. I have tried the different text objects but have found that only rich media works. Maiby if i knew how to hide everything else and only show the text line i want i could use rich media, because i only need to show 1 or 2 lines.

I am making a game wich has a credit counter, so when the player loses or wins the credit will have to update accordingy. A counter can do this but cant display text from MooSock, and rich media can display text but not update as far as i know. Maiby it can refresh some how?

Really appriciate the help.

A counter can display text from MooSock.. just use Val() to convert it to a number.

Live Receiver is faster and easier than MooSock for things like this, though, so you should consider using that instead.

Thank you for the help Jamie. Yes i know about LiveReceiver, i have it.

I tried Val(), but nothing is displayed.

This is what i do:

When data is received i set the counter to Val(Received$("Live receiver")).

What am i doing wrong, have i missed something? Have also tried to set the counter to different texts but still nothing.

That looks correct. Post an MFA file?

[Jack_Mcphee]

What is MFA? Does it stands for Multimedia Fusion Application? Why do you want me to post that?

The MFA file is the file created when you save your work. If you post that (on the File Archive board), then people can look around your code and work out how to fix your problems. If there's bits of unrelated code you don't want people to see, just group and password-protect it

Why do you want me to post that?

Post it so that we can look at it and find what you are doing wrong.

Ok. Where can i find this file? I have looked in the folder where i have saved my app as well as all other folders?

[James]

It's the actual application file which you saved.
