On one of my scenes I use a vertical menu bar, that was basically modeled after Patrick Jansen's "Creating a Text that uses Scrollbuttons and a Scrollbar." The feature works quite nice, however since the values of the text file are returned to a text box, I want to know if it's possible to use these returned values so that, as an example, a user could click on one of the returned values and proceed to another scene, or within the same scene, but upon the mouse action the user would be returned some other data, say from a database?
I have the database functionality working already with the exception of the scrollbars. In this case, the menu selections are simple buttons that a user selects and the request goes out and returns the recordset value back to the same scene. I would like to combine this function with the scrollbar example so that the user upon accessing this particular scene would first see the text selections, and upon selecting one would then see the appropriate data returned from the database.
Is this possible using Jansen's model returning data from a text file?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for reading this post.
