[SOLVED] Returning value from function with Task

What type of content is it? XML, JSON ?

I will wait around for another 15 mins or so and see if you respond.

In case I miss you here is one way and forgive me but I like to use a more standardized code if you will.
contentreader.xml

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8" ?>

<component name = "ContentReader" extends = "Task" >

  <interface>
    <field id = "contenturi" type = "uri" />
    <field id = "content" type = "node" />
  </interface>

  <script type = "text/brightscript" >

    <![CDATA[

    sub init()
      m.top.functionName = "getcontent"
    end sub

    sub getcontent()
      content = createObject("roSGNode", "ContentNode")
      contentxml = createObject("roXMLElement")
      readInternet = createObject("roUrlTransfer")
      readInternet.setUrl(m.top.contenturi)
      contentxml.parse(readInternet.GetToString())
      if contentxml.getName()="Content"
        for each item in contentxml.GetNamedElements("item")
          itemcontent = content.createChild("ContentNode")
          itemcontent.setFields(item.getAttributes())
          end for
          end if
      m.top.content = content
    end sub

    ]]>

  </script>

</component>

the.xml

<component name = "SimplePosterGrid" extends = "Scene" initialFocus = "postergrid" >
  <interface>
    <field id="itemContent" type="node" onChange="showpostergrid"/>
  </interface>
  <script type = "text/brightscript" >

    <![CDATA[

    sub init()
      m.postergrid = m.top.findNode("PosterGrid")
      m.readPosterGridTask = createObject("roSGNode", "ContentReader")
      m.readPosterGridTask.contenturi = "http://yourfilehere.xml"
      m.readPosterGridTask.observeField("content", "showpostergrid")
      m.readPosterGridTask.control = "RUN"
    end sub

    sub showpostergrid()
        m.postergrid.content = m.readPosterGridTask.content
        m.postergrid.setFocus(true)
        end sub

    ]]>

  </script>

  <children>
    <PosterGrid
      id = "PosterGrid"
      basePosterSize = "[ 375, 225 ]"
      numColumns = "4"
      numRows = "3"
      itemSpacing = "[ 50, 75 ]" />
  </children>

</component>
