7.Just put some more text here
8.It's time to download our file now! drag the "Download file" action.
URL is the link for the file we will download (make sure it's a direct link like this one if you are downloading a photo : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dkZmbXOpiFE/S ... /mario.bmp
"File name" is the name of the file
"extension" is the extencion of your file (make sure not to use " . " )
"Success or not" is a variable that we need to declare to show if the download was Successfull or not
9. Now you can put something like this.This will not show the file on the sreen it will just show you if the download was successfull or not!!! : (click on the photo to view in full size)
After the file is downloaded it will be located in the root of your flash card
If you are downloading a photo you can view it using this:
Download this lib and this action (place the action at C:\Program Files\DS Game Maker\Actions and include the lib as seen on the top of the post)
- Load bmp from FAT.action
- (164 Bytes) Downloaded 50 times
- FatBmps.h

Now drag the action after we have show the text and in the action you will see these
"Screen"(the screen that the photo will be viewed
"File" the file of the photo
And if you are downloading a .txt file you can do this:
Drag the execute code action after the text that shows that the download was success and add this
- Code: Select all
Dim FileContent As String
Read_File(FileContent, "file.txt")
Draw_Text(Top_Screen, 1, 1, FileContent)
It will draw the "file.txt" on the top screen
you can change the "file.txt" to the name of your .txt and you can also change the "Top_screen" to "Buttom_screen
And that's it! If you have ANY problem just post it here
