    I'm still new with the program, but I'm trying to figure out why the away team graphic is not updating.  I'm using news ticker to get scores.  I set up the home team as drop down menu to select the game.  What am I missing?

    your question is a little vague. Can you give us more details about the graphic and this news ticker? is it a rss feed? In Xpression, can you find the data in the datalinq tab and is it updating there? Maybe give us a screen shot of the datalinq tab on the element that is not working could be helpful too. Have you checked both the Enabled and Live Updates checkboxes in the datalinq tab?

    my sport producer wants the scoreboard to automate when he chooses the home team.  I will be creating separate scoreboard for each league.  I'm using newsticker url (rss) to get the information.  I set the home team as a static text so producer can select the team.  I set the datalinq to home score as:
    Data\Sport<forced_home_team=@City_H@;league_name1=MLB>\home_score
    set the visit team and score as:
    Data\Sport<forced_home_team=@City_H@;league_name1=MLB>\forced_visit_team
    Data\Sport<forced_home_team=@City_H@;league_name1=MLB>\visit_score
     
    and set period as:
     
    Data\Sport<forced_home_team=@City_H@;league_name1=MLB>\forced_period
     
    Then I set a material path to home team logo to grab the team pic.  I did the same thing for the visit team.  
    material path:
    \images\Team Logos\MLB\@City_H@.png
    When I played out the scene and chose the home team, the correct information appeared. the only issue i got was the away team picture didn't change.  
    I also set a path to away team as:
    \images\Team Logos\MLB\@City_A@.png
    did not work.  Do I have to do something in visual logic?

    in the Datalinq Server app, when you Browse that rss feed source, do you see your data that you will need? if not, then you know that something is setup wrong between your rss feed and Datalinq. Id suggest watching something like this tutorial. otherwise, you might need to wait for somebody more knowledgeable than me to help you, bc im not familiar with this particular way of using datalinq with rss. sorry i couldn't help more. good luck.
