How to grab external contents?

Dell7730

I would like to be able to have a section in my app where it grabs info externally like say a static webpage, so I can update it there and not have to update the app every time there's a change in content.

What kind of content are you talking about? This is possible with the new network behaviours - to an extent. But it won't be easy!

An image or text or both

To answer your question... yes. You can pull data externally. I am not an expert in this field but from what I have learned, the new network behaviors allow you to do it. I remember seeing a forum post explaining how to do it. Once I find it I'll post it here.

You can't pull an image that isn't already found in your game. You can certainly get text, though.
