How do I send a value to a function in the appVideoScreen.brs from showFeed.brs?

I am using: m.value = item.value

but when I call the m.value in the function on the appVideoScreen.brs it says invalid ?

That is one way to do it and it should work. What you're saying here contradicts what you said in the other thread:

when I set them in showFeed.brs

m.cost = item.cost
m.model = item.modelId

print "cost "; m.cost
print "model "; m.model

the debug shows the correct values:

cost 25
model 22

Also, although what you're doing should work, it's not very good style to use global variables to pass information around. It would be better to pass your item AA into the functions that need it as a parameter.

here is the code:

Function showVideoScreen(episode As Object)

    if type(episode) <> "roAssociativeArray" then
        print "invalid data passed to showVideoScreen"
        return -1
    endif

    print "cost "; m.cost
    
    port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
    screen = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
    screen.SetMessagePort(port)

    screen.Show()
    screen.SetPositionNotificationPeriod(30)
    screen.SetContent(episode)
    screen.Show()

here is the debug ??
