You need to read my last post today. I explain this a little
further. Basically the problem is that elements are skipped and not
actually loaded when using the "put url" in combination with a repeat
statement. Some images and audio files are partially saved and left
as complete, others are skipped entirely but results vary each time
you *refresh* a card. This comment had more to do with verifying
which ones were skipped or partially loaded so I can *reload* them
again rather than complaining about having to call them up myself in
a script. Granted, i may not have the cleanest code since it is an
alpha stack, but the "put url" command is fairly straight forward.
If you build an entire stack that pulls all the information from text
to graphics from the server then you'll begin to see the havoc of not
receiving all the data each time.
