Somewhere down the line I missed the basics on the scene graph usage. I've tried two approaches for getting access to data from outside of the application into a custom scene graph element and failed both times. In the first case I used a lightly modified version of ParseXMLContent() from the "Simple Grid and Video" to push the data into content nodes. The problem I had was that the following code
production = createObject("RoSGNode","ContentNode")
...
'production["Text"] = "text" 'works
'production.temp = "temp" 'Doesn't work?
'production.title = "title" 'Does work
'production["Labeltext"] = data.series[series].title 'doesn't work
print production
Trying variations of the above didn't allow me to set what I wanted, yet the sample provided was able to copy key pairs from an array without issue. Is there a limitation in using content nodes I'm missing here?
The second thing I tried was to bypass the above issue altogether by having the custom element pull the data I needed directly within the init() call, but attempting to call SetUrl() on a roUrlTransfer object would throw an error and using ReadAsciiFile() fails even if I successfully store and read the file before creating the scene. Is it not possible to directly access the data in the components like this?
I'm sorry for having to ask about such basic stuff like this, but I've hit a point where I don't even know which part of the docs to read anymore.
