Is there a way to define it in a project variable? So I can set as a text object?

#9

i think you can just make a new variable for it.

var changableText = client.responseText;

i dont have wick open rn thought so this is just a thought

#10

It doesn’t work.

Try to set the XML request into a window variable

Ex:

window.SomeVariable=client.responseText;

I believe that XML requests can only reach scripts that are from the site that they were sent from, but I may be wrong
