#1 TDN probably has the most info.

It listed about 2/3 of the way down on this page.

#2 @Peter
Thanks.
FYI, you can use MarkupLite tags like this

#3 I came up with this code. It displays the text.

*Problem* is, if I call the TextGUI object, the SceneObject in the code (a button) does not respond. Bug or user error?

// .......................................................................................
if ( !isObject( GuiMLTextProfile )) new GuiControlProfile( GuiMLTextProfile )
{
	fontType       = "Arial Black";
	fontSize       = 72;
	fontColor      = "255 0 0";
	autoSizeWidth  = true;
   autoSizeHeight = true;  
   border         = false;	
	justify        = "center";
};


// .....................................................................................
function CreditsSceneGraph::OnAdd(%this)
{
   %this.CreateBackground();
   %this.CreateGuiText();
   
   %this.x_button_1  =  0;
   %this.y_button_1  =  $model.y_bottom;  
   
   CreateButton( %this, "ButtonGoHome",        "ButtonHomeImageMap",        %this.x_button_1,  %this.y_button_1, 64,64);
   
}

// .....................................................................................
function CreditsSceneGraph::CreateBackground( %this )
{
    %obj = new t2dStaticSprite() 
    { 
        scenegraph = %this; 
    };
    %obj.setVisible( true );
    %obj.setLayer( 20 );
    %obj.setImageMap( "MenuImageMap" );
    %obj.setSize( 768, 1024 );
}

// .....................................................................................
function CreditsSceneGraph::CreateGuiText( %this )
{
   %extent = $model.x_screen_size @ " "  @ $model.y_screen_size;   
   %text   = "<just:center>Credits" @ "<br><br><br> Art:<br> Me <br><br> Lead Programmer:<br> You";
   
   %this.GuiTextCredits = new GuiMLTextCtrl()
	{
    	canSaveDynamicFields 	= "0";
      Profile 			      	= "GuiMLTextProfile";
      HorizSizing 		   	= "width";
      VertSizing 			   	= "height";

      hovertime 			   	= "1000";
      lineSpacing 		   	= "2";
      allowColorChars 		   = "0";
      maxChars		 	      	= "-1";

   %this.GuiTextCredits.SetText( %text );    
   canvas.pushDialog( %this.GuiTextCredits );
   
}

#4 @Pedro - In your textProfile trying adding modal = false;

Give that a try.

#5 @Johnny
Thanks, but the same still happens.

I have this console error

Quote:Failed to load profile bitmap ()

#6 Just a thought but could the button be loading under the guitext? Like a separate dialog?

#7 @Peter.
I tried

Position  = "0 0";
Extent    = "100 100";

but nothing changed.


Too bad, since the HTML like syntax for the text is really neat.
Well, some documentation digging follows.

#8 I solved this by creating an extra GuiControl instance and by adding the GuiMLTextCtrl to it;

complete code

if(!isObject(GuiModelessDialogProfile)) new GuiControlProfile("GuiModelessDialogProfile")
{
   modal = false;
};

if ( !isObject( GuiMLTextProfile )) new GuiControlProfile( "GuiMLTextProfile" )
{
    fontType       = "Times New Roman Bold";
    fontSize       = 48;
    fontColor      = "255 0 0";
    autoSizeWidth  = true;
    autoSizeHeight = true;  
    border         = false;
    justify        = "center";
    modal          = false;
};
