Awesome news on the pullvar/pushvar commands
That's going to be a godsend for me!
There's a pushVar/pullVar example in the Functions folder. It demonstrates what it is... The website side under the EZ-Cloud needs to be finished. Perhaps tomorrow or the next day I think...
Howdy
I am getting a error when trying to run the Video Player?
ControlCommand(VideoPlayer, PlayVideo, "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Video1.mpg")
"Unknown Window Control Command: PlayVideo" Is it me? ... LOL
Did you add the Video Player control? It is found under Add Control -> Misc -> Video Player
The name of the control is "Video Player", not "videoplayer"... Notice the space between the two words. You can see the nane of the control in the title bar of the control.
Use the Cheat Sheet tab to display the available ControlCommands() for controls added to a project. I always recommend using the Cheat Sheet tab when adding ControlCommands()
I'm excited to see it work with your VidEyes!
blush
I never used the Cheat Sheet tab when adding ControlCommands(). Maybe now I won't have so many problems blush As always, thanks for the help.
@Herr Ball, Cheat Sheet is click & paste, it makes it so much easier.

After new download, I can not run "Rich,s rss news feed to the second story. It will not respond to yes or no, like it did in earlier versions. I still would like to see a download option for earlier versions! Like I mentioned before. It might be a good option for certain robot projects. I know DJ said updates are suppose to work with existing projects. I appreciate updates, but I would like this option. Can you help? Steve S
