Deprecated Functions

hi,

I'm starting with Roku Development at the moment and I've seen many deprecated functions (roParagraphScreen, ifGridScreen, etc.)  in the SDK Doku.
Is there a new Doku Link or where can I get a hint for the new functions?

Thanks for help

Re: Deprecated Functions

I thought there was a page which listed replacements, but didn't find one today.
Any visual UI component ought to be removed or replaced.  So the Dialog component would be replaced with an overlay or dialog for the screen (SEE dialog node class https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Dialogs+Markup).  The gridscreen component would be replaced with a bunch of rowlist components.

Re: Deprecated Functions

Yeah Renojim, those are the deprecated items, but no replacements are specifically listed on that post,  You basically need to hunt and find/create solutions with the roku wiki documentation for which components would be the replacements for your project.  Most share names (like roKeyboard is replaced by Keyboard and miniKeyboard).
