Perhaps I should be more specific. (apologies, as I'd written this post in a momentary bout of frustration.) The function isn't the main function of my program, but I assume the principle is the same. At least, I assume it is. Correct me if I'm wrong (please).
The text saying there is no stream is actually a placeholder, and my intent is to make a display informing the user of how long it will be before a stream takes place. I've been attempting another placeholder with a description on the main menu, a roListScreen, of the app I am building but that doesn't seem to be working either (brightscript reeeeally doesn't want me to tell time, I guess).
If you can't figure out how to tell the time using BrightScript, you'll get totally wound up in knots trying to do anything using the Scene Graph API. And I don't even know whether it's even possible to mix Scene Graph API code (roSGNode) with standard Roku API code (roListScreen). As I told you in another thread, you'd be better off sticking with the standard components until you understand what you're doing. It should be fairly easy to display a timer on an roListScreen; just over-write an existing field (Title, ShortDescriptionLine1, breadcrumb, etc.) with the timer value. If you're stuck on that part, let me know and I'll whip up a quick example.
