Hello again Ian. I added you as a contributor on my project, but wasn't sure I had your correct email address. I used iancahill@rarewire.com. I soved a lot of my own issues with this test app over the weekend, but I do have a question regarding video. I will start a new topic, as I think you've addressed everything I asked about in this thread. Thanks.

Thanks again for your help Ian. I made big strides today. I think I've got the basics in place to where it's more of content exercise now. I will add you as a collaborator so you can check things out. I've got some more questions for you regarding technique, but I have several things to clean up first.

Hey Ian, thanks for helping me with this. I've tinkered with this for a couple of hours, and I can get some of the functionality I'm looking for, but I seem to keep getting close, but not quite there. I am trying to create an app that plays a particular video based on the current time of day and weather conditions (using Yahoo RSS feed) in a particular zip code. My library of videos are name coded so that they correspond to these scenarios. This is supposed to be like looking out a virtual window. My basic design is to have the app check current conditions (behind the scenes) every x minutes, and adjust the full screen video that is playing, if needed. My questions are:

-What's your recommendation for creating the time delayed function that checks for a new weather code every x minutes? I tried a tag with a delay, but I'm getting odd results.

- Seems like I have to use a class/object to get the RSS weather code into the app, how do I pass that code back down to an action where I can use it to feed the video controller source?

- Finally, how would you approach this project (in other words, am I going about it all wrong)?

Thanks for your help. I love this application, and I want to start using it more frequently, so I'm trying to get comfortable with the developer tools.

Perfect! Thanks! I was stuck in a syntax free fall :-)

Thanks for the quick response.
