Hi,everyone!
At first, vMix with date source is marvelous and convennient! But problem appeared when I am trying to creat a lower third title module in vmix,containing today's weather forecast which read data from third part xml file online.The problem I encontered is that I cannot concatenate 3 seperate text feilds together like a phrase, it cannot range in order.
So I change it to range them in layout with a background of image,and now I want to change the weather sates into images which is given from the xml file as a value like state2="1",and it can be compile into image url as "http://www.xxx.com/x/d1.gif".I tried to put the url in the feild of format in data souce pannel, like "http://www.xxx.com/x/d{0}.gif", but it failed.
I also tried the alternative method using weather.ttf, but it can only support 10 different state, when it gives the value of 14, it will show two weather iamges of state 1 and state 4.
So plz help me!

Patience !! not everyone lives in your timezone !

in order to concatenate 3 separate text fields as one you will need to use some scripting

"http://www.xxx.com/x/d{0}.gif" should be correct assuming that is the actual file name of the image is d1.gif and the data is 1

Have you looked through this forum , dealing with images linked to a data source has been addressed multiple times here!

Thank you very much, friend! And I am fairly sorry for my anxiety!
You give me a rather good hint and keywords for solution, I'll try, except using scripts, because I am not familiar with that.
