Hi Folks. so I'm still new to all of this but I'm trying to query the name of the file that jit.movie~ is playing and its not returning anything. I see it printing it out, but isn't there a way to put the file name in a message box?

I want to display a lot of the attributes and its not clicking for me yet. I do a route read <attribute name> out of the right most outlet and then it finds the read and somehow (I'm new) it triggers my get<attributename> messages. But not all of them return?

getmoviefile-doesn't-return-movie-file-name

ok, I guess it works if I call getmoviefile by itself, not with other 'gets' ?

I can get it to print out the moviefile if I run getmoviefile by itself, not with others. Also, still can't get it to appear in a msg box

ok, I got it. prepend set seems to be the cure

nevermind. I fixed it. commas are used in the get<attribute> msgs. ug
