http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript

w3schools is just a convenient reference at times.

The idea to use the javascript actor looks very interesting, but i am failing in java programming...
and it will take some time .... Is w3schools the simplest way to jump in?

Another option, is to load data into the Javascript actor.
You can use "include ('filename.txt');"
as your first line in a javascript actor to include an external text file.. it will be parsed as Javascript, so I find it easiest to format it as a variable declaration. Setting a var like:

Var1 = YourJSON data

Learn about JSON here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json.asp

This method can give you access to many forms of data.. !

The external file should be loaded everytime the scene is activated, so it should be possible to reload data as it is updated. (untested ;)

my system is MBP OSX 10.10.4 & Izzy 2.0.5

i found a discussion in 2013 and a dll plugin for windows, but not for mac.
I don't know nothing about trancoding to xcode, maybe there is a link to a transcoded one

Rows are the items, lines are the records. Best way is to record a data array in a file (write) and observe how the file is formatted.
You can also find a "ReadTextFromFile" plugin who can open a text and parse it according to paragraphs and using "text parser" you can do some interesting things (like read .srt subtitles)
