ok. I included a bit of code from the source file in my previous post. However if I try to use that same technique in my code it doesn't work in the same manor. I was wondering if anyone knew why? or if they could just give me a working example of how to store a variable. I have tried using the one on the opensocial wiki, the one in the ...

 1. Clicking on those requires a www.fegmail.com username and password( dont know if its supposed to be that way or not)  2.

 but if I delete my myspace profile I can create another one with the same email adress, right?

 sorry was just unaware that each app required a different email address. whats the reasoning behind that?
