thanks kevin. i am having some trouble with the code.
here is what i modified in my apphomescreen.brs. thanks in advance
kid = m.Categories.Kids[msg.GetIndex()]
if kid.type = "About Us" then
ShowParagraphScreen()
else
displayCategoryPosterScreen(kid)
end if
i also called this function
Function ShowParagraphScreen() As Void
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
screen = CreateObject("roParagraphScreen")
screen.SetMessagePort(port)
screen.SetTitle("[Screen Title]")
screen.AddHeaderText("[Header Text]")
screen.AddParagraph("[Paragraph text 1 - Text in the paragraph screen is justified to the right and left edges]")
screen.AddParagraph("[Paragraph text 2 - Multiple paragraphs may be added to the screen by simply making additional calls]")
screen.AddButton(1, "[button text 1]")
screen.AddButton(2, "[button text 2]")
screen.Show()
while true
msg = wait(0, screen.GetMessagePort())
if type(msg) = " roParagraphScreenEvent"
exit while
endif
end while
End Function
