netTextResult()

Syntax

    netTextResult(netID)
    netTextResult()

Description

Function; returns the text obtained by the specified network operation. If no net ID is specified, `netTextResult` returns the result of the last network operation.

If the specified network operation was `getNetText()`, the text is the text of the file on the network.

If the specified network operation was `postNetText`, the result is the server's response.

After the next operation starts, Director discards the results of the previous operation to conserve memory.

When a movie plays back as an applet, this function returns valid results for the last 10 requests. When a movie plays back as a Shockwave movie, this function returns valid results for only the most recent `getNetText()` operation.

Example

This handler uses the `"netDone` and `netDone"` functions to test whether the last network operation finished successfully. If the operation is finished, text returned by `netTextResult` is displayed in the field cast member Display Text.

    global gNetID

    on exitFrame
    	if (netDone(gNetID) = TRUE) and (netError(gNetID) = "OK") then
    		member("Display Text").text = netTextResult()	end if
    end
