Hi, i want to setup a Tv station in AWteen. anyone can give me information
of how to create one?

Sure, the very basic way to do it is, go to www.download.com and download a
program called snagit. This takes pictures and uploads them to a webpage as
a picture file for example mytv.jpg when, in aw you put on a picture object
create picture http://www.awtvstation.com/tv/mytv.jpg update = 5 (just an
example) it updates the picture that is constantly being changed by snagit.
That is the basic way, if the TV station really starts getting serious I
recommend some of the more advanced methods, like a php script, but I won't
get into that now.

Probly I could dig up a php script for ya if you really need one. But you
would have to have a reliable server first.

do you need a 'reliable' server tiptronic? i could add you as a user on my
server - with your own ftp, though, your address would be a /~name and you
could add whatever in your space, website, tv script - unless you already
have server space.

Thanks Maki for the offer :)
Ananas was right, i've my own website

Also here I would like to thanks Pineriver for the PHP script. Here is the
script if ne1 interested:

<?PHP
$aPics = array (
'picture1',
'picture2',
'picture3',
'picture4'
);

$DocRoot = './';


$i = time()%sizeof($aPics);
$Basename = $aPics[$i].'.jpg';
$Filename = $DocRoot.'/'.$Basename;

Header ('Content-type: image/jpeg');
Header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$Basename );
readfile ($Filename);
?>
The script takes a different image everytime a request comes in. It uses all
images in the array $aPics - they are expected to be in the same directory
where the script is too.

In AW you just use the update= modifier of the create picture command.

oh boy.. now here comes a bunch of n00b stations :(

LOL As if yours isn't a "n00b station", GC? Look at it this way: Maybe
this influx of competition will actually inspire one of you guys to make
a *legit* virtual TV station! And by legit, I mean something other than
another lame rotating banner ad.
