Duane,

Thanks for the quick feedback.  Currently, I've been booting my widget of a thumb drive.  I assume that I'm now at a point where I have to upload the widget to the Chumby server in order to implement save/restore?

Thanks,

tom

Duane,

Sorry to keep peppering you with questions today.  I uploaded my widget, configured a channel, etc. and it works as expected.  Cool.

The next step I'm trying to access the environment params, including '_chumby_instance_url' for save/restore.  I tried both:

debug_txt.text = this['_chumby_instance_url']
debug_txt.text = _root._chumby_instance_url
(where debug_txt is a dynamic text object)

but both return an undefined result.  No problems accessing this['_chumby_chumby_name'] or this['_chumby_widget_instance_id'].

Is there anything I have to do in order for '_chumby_instance_url' to be accessible?  I was under the impression that it was automatically set at run-time.

Edit: I'm trying to access '_chumby_instance_url' in my widget, not a config widget (don't need one).

Thanks,

tom

Duane,

I must be missing something fundamental.  All I have to go off of is the Banner example, that uses a url passed into the xml load/sendAndLoad().  I don't know how to use '_chumby_widget_instance_id'.  Is there any documentation, or better yet, an example that uses '_chumby_widget_instance_id' to save/restore simple data?  If not, could you please post a snippet for me?

Thanks,

tom
