I've been trying to put a large amount of readable text on a channel I'm working on but every time I try to load the text it just locks up the roku box.
Any thoughts as to why this is?
I'm trying to load about 500 kilobytes of text using the rotextscreen component.
Here's the code.

Function showTextScreen(Selection As Object) As Integer
     initTheme()
     port = CreatObject("roMessagePort")
     screen = CreateObject("roTextScreen")
     screen.SetMessagePort(Port)
     screen.SetTittle("Bible Lessons")
     screen.SetHeaderText(Selection.Tittle)
     screen.SetText(Selection.Synopsis)
     screen.AddButton(1,"Close")
     screen.Show()
     while true
        msg = wait(0, screen.GetMessagePort())
        if type(msg) = " roTextScreenEvent"
            if msg.isScreenClosed() then
                 return -1
            elseif msg.isButtonPressed() then
                 if msg.GetIndex() = 1 then
                    return -1
                 endif
            endif
        endif
    end while
End Function

Do you have the debugger open when you run your app? I suspect the debugger will tell you that your first call to CreateObject is misspelled. SetTitle later on is also misspelled.

But yeah, keep an eye on teh console - only the last one wouldn't've showed.

Oh...that's embarrassing 😛
I don't even have a roku..my friend debugged it and I'm not sure if he checked but I'm almost positive the misspellings are the problem.

Thanks!
