I just tested with Quad and it will work if you use xpQuadObject instead of BaseObject. BaseObject doesn't have a DL property it looks like.

Thanks! Is it possible to turn off a Datalinqed material source on a quad as well?
The datalinq options did not appear on xpbaseobjects.

This should do it if you add to a script event in the Scene Director
dim mytext as xpTextObject
scene.GetObjectByName("Text1", mytext)
mytext.Datalinq.LiveUpdate=False
I will note that while the property is changing, the template data of the Take Item does not seem to reflect that.

Or without copying the text from one text object to another, thus it won't update. I'd rather not have two text objects for every single text.

Hi,
Is it possible to turn off "Live Update" in datalinqed text at a certain point in the timeline using scripts?
