From what I understand, a task can not be ran from the main.brs file. So in order to run a task, I must first create a scene and then create the task within the scene. If this is not correct I am really lost. So, in my main.brs I have a function that is executed on start up and then again later in the code. This function uses urlTransfer so it's done in a task. My problem is that I keep getting an error stating "No such node serverurlinfo". I have a setup like the following;
main.brs
function seturlData()
screen = CreateObject("roSGScreen")
screen.setMessagePort(m.port)
scene = screen.CreateScene("serverurlinfo")
screen.show()
while (true)
msg = wait(0, m.port)
msgType = type(msg)
if msgType = "roSGScreenEvent"
if msg.isScreenClosed()
exit while
end if
end if
end while
end function
serverurlinfo.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<component name="serverurlinfo" extends="Scene" >

m.urlTask.serverurl= url
m.urlTask.control = "RUN"

Is there something missing? If so what? Thanks
