Fun with Parcel Media

Definately nifty stuff, and will allow for some things that otherwise has been a constant pain. For example, via ImageMagick I got a dynamic text thing working, converting text to a jpeg and then pointing the land's source to that jpeg. Also successfully loaded in a flash animation (badger's...) without a problem. (Going to have to attempt to see if I can get it to display a dynamically changing flash anim to display text via XML from my server....)

One thing seems to be missing, and that is a function to set the media source... Will there be like a llSetParcelMedia(key texture, string url) function?

llSetParcelMedia or similar is planned.

Bump!

Hopefully this is a big priority.

Is it possible to get an estimate of when this function might be available?
