getNetText

[Michael Mendelsohn]

Hi...

Does getNetText have to have a full url for the parameter?

I want to use it in a shockwave movie but I want the text to just sit next
to the dcr. I would have figured that could be a relative path. But,
getNetText("data.xml") doesn't work. In debugging, the netID gives me
errors of 5, 7, 9 etc. when I do getNetText(the moviepath & "data.xml").
Any tips?

thanks,
Mike

Have you tested it from a real web server (Apache, IIS etc.) rather than just
locally?

No, just with the DSWmedia folder.

Errrr... I missed that the first time round - getNetText returns a "handle" for
that particular net operation. You're meant to wait for netDone(netID) and
netError(netID)="OK" before retrieving the actual data with
netTextResult(netID). Look all of those up in the Lingo Dictionary.
