I am trying to output a string into a message box using this java code:

outlet (0, file); //file is a String, which is set to "moviesubs.srt"

and the outlet 0 is connected to a message box..

comment: doesn't understand "moviesubs.srt"

What am i doing wrong.. can anyone help me figure this out?

please note: that this outlet (0, file) method doesnt work with textedit objects either...

and the outlet 0 is connected to a message box..

 works, right? To specify the contents of a message box you need to use the 

And print works, right? To specify the contents of a message box you need to use the set message.


Actually, the idea is to make the output go into a message box, so that i can use the alpha channel (jitter tutorial 29) and have my subtitles showing up on the screen...

print only puts it into the max output.. but i want to put that into a message box so i can forward it to the lcd..

also could you elaborate on using the set message?

You seem to be using a [comment] box rather than a [message] box. Try sending your output to a [prepend set] first. Or add the "prepend" directly into your code.
