Hi!

I'm trying to read through the official document. Is there a PDF version of this? That would make may life a lot easier.

Thanks!

This was made with a trial version so the menu has [Trial Version] infront of everything...

Oh yeah, I'm a kind of confused by the object/event reference. For example if have Contact::Name, it tells me:

This is a read-only property.
[string] Name;

But how do I use it? Like Contact.Name(syntax)?? What's going on.

Well there is a few ways of getting it:

js code:

---

/* Looping through the contact list */
for ( var oContact = new Enumerator ( Messenger.MyContacts ); !oContact.atEnd(); oContact.moveNext() ) {
    Debug.Trace ( oContact.item().Name );
}

/* If you know the email */
var oContact = Messenger.GetContact ( 'johndoe@hotmail.com' );
Debug.Trace ( oContact.Name );

Is there a more comprehensive tutorial somewhere?

There are an immense amount of tickets and same code on the forum.

If you need help or questions answered feel free to post

http://mpscripts.net will become a full scripting resource at some point in time.

The Scripting document is nice, but it's not as easy to read for a scripting newbie. I have some novice VB.Net experience. That's a bout it.

So if I read the scripting document all the way through, I can become an "expert" on Msg Live Plus scripting?

Probably not.

You may become an expert on Plus! scripting through doing much programming by yourself, through discovering, figuring-out-why and fixing bugs of your scripts, through asking questions and reading people's answers on the forums, and (possibly) through reading others' codes.

Actually as far as we're talking about programming, it's pretty much the same, regardless of the language and the target platform.

I took classes which (this will date me) was Visual Basic 3 at the time. Then I learned VB6 (same language). Then I tackled Plus! scripting which is JScript. If you are familar with Javascript that is "half" the battle.

You may want to check out some JScript/JavaScript tutorials (in case you haven't done that already)?

I'm free from school now for about 6 weeks (if not: more), so I'll have plenty of time to write a tutorial. I'll think about it
