Simplified. /\

I would love to be able to take that "Browsing Profiles" and make it show up as my personal MSN message. Is is possible to script this?

no, as jscript doesn't have accessors. you would have to use a timer to check when the variable updates.

But, what exactly is the difference between "Current Media" and "Current Status"?

I have the exact variable address for MY status. Getting someone else's would be as simple as making the script JUST for them...

current media is what song you're playing in windows media player, current status is the status you're currently using

8434513 GET

Sorry that wasn't what I meant.

I mean.

What is the difference between "Grabbing the song that you are currently playing in Media player" and grabbing the current status that is being shown on a website.

Sorry. I'm thinking your posting for spite. If you don't know what I'm talking about then please don't answer. I'm talking about a simple 'grabbing of MySQL output variable' and updating it everytime it changes.

yes, this is possible. I'm doing the exact same thing for the script that I'm working on right now. The easiest way to do this is create a php script for yourself that echos the contents that you want to show. Then you can use an XMLHTTP object to read the contents of the output. here's a snippet:

code:

---

var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://www.domain.com/file.php", true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
   if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
      if(xmlhttp.status == 200) {
         Debug.Trace('Data returned: ' + xmlhttp.responseText)
      } else {
         Debug.Trace('Error: Could not open web page');
      }
   }
}

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure how to load that EXACT piece of text though. Just enter the variable address? o.O?


Edit:

Actually I'm not quite sure how to even start this...

If it's easy enough I just want my Personal message to show the single ever changing piece of text shown on this page.

Variables
"Browsing FFR Profiles"
"Playing FFR"
"Browsing FFR Forums"
"Offline" (This would show if, in fact, there was no variable active.) (Or the site detected me nowhere.)

Hello! try this code (works! tested. but not sure if any bugs are in):

code:

---

var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/profile/Zageron/", true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
   if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
      if(xmlhttp.status == 200) {
         var status = '';
         if(xmlhttp.responseText.search("Browsing FFR Profiles") != -1){
                  status = "Browsing FFR Profiles";
         } else {
         if(xmlhttp.responseText.search("Playing FFR") != -1){
                  status = "Playing FFR";
         } else {
         if(xmlhttp.responseText.search("Browsing FFR Forums") != -1){
                  status = "Browsing FFR Forums";
         } else {
                  status = "Offline";
         }}}
         Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = "Zageron: " + status;
      } else {
         Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = "Zageron: Offline";
      }
   }
}
xmlhttp.send(Math.random()*99999);

Nothing is showing up in my personal message.

Is there something special I have to do?

THANKS! BTW.

Thank you very much!

So far, it seems, the script only updates when I...
Log in to MSN
or
Click 'Save All' in the "edit script area".

What is a function that I can use to update it every  seconds?

code:

---

var nTimerOffset = 60 * 1000; //Set the timer offset to one minute (1 min = 60 s = 60000 ms)

//The OnEvent_Initialize event calls OnEvent_SigninReady if you're already signed in on script start.
function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart) {
   if(Messenger.MyStatus > 0) OnEvent_SigninReady(Messenger.MyEmail);
}

//The OnEvent_SigninReady event calls your update function and then creates a timer when you sign in to Messenger.
function OnEvent_SigninReady(sEmail) {
   UpdateIt(); //UpdateIt is your update function
   MsgPlus.CreateTimer("TimerUpdate", nTimerOffset); //Creates a timer
}

//The OnEvent_Signout event cancels the timer.
function OnEvent_Signout(sEmail) {
   MsgPlus.CancelTimer("TimerUpdate");
}

//The OnEvent_Timer event calls your update function and re-creates the timer so it'll create a timed loop.
function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) {
   if(sTimerId == "TimerUpdate") {
      UpdateIt(); //Your update function
      MsgPlus.AddTimer(sTimerId, nTimerOffset); //Re-creates the timer
   }
}

function UpdateIt() {
   //Code goes here...
}
