TGF has the MooSock extension right?
If so then you can retrieve the text from your .asp page and use then simply set a string to the information on that page. Or if you want a more complex one, use delimeters and string parser (again does TGF have this?) - your choice though. But yeh you'll need MooSock as far as I am aware.

Just make a .asp page that displays your scores something like:
Flava - 20
Phizzy - 10
Axel - 2
.etc
Then just use MooSock to connect to that page and display the data - there are several articles showing how to do this, the best one probably being Tigerwork's. Search his name, look at his article and I am sure they'll help

i cant get it to work using tigerworks' article.
im using a
"c.1asphost.com/myusername/myaspfile.asp"
to currently display scores online.
the scores are in a table
rank|name|score
_________________
_1__|name1|score1
_2__|name2|score2
_3__|name3|score3
can someone please tell how to connect to that page and display the table on it. cause i honestly hate online coding and dont understand it.

+ Start of frame
- MooSock: Connect to "c.1asphost.com/myusername/" on port 80
+ Moosock - On Connect
- MooSock: Send text line "POST" + "c.1asphost.com/myusername/myaspfile.asp?name=" + Edittext$( Name ) + "&score=" + Edittext$( Score ) + "HTTP/1.0"
+ Send text line From: myusername@1asphost.com
+ Send text line User-Agent: HTTPTool/1.0
+ Send text line
+ Disconnect
That should submit the data fine - your host address looks weird though so might have to mess around with it. Some people reckon you should use HTTP/1.1 - but from experience using that, it was sometimes buggy. So if it still doesn't work try changing the 1.0 to 1.1. And yes, you need to send an empty text line at the end, then disconnect.

+ Start of frame
- MooSock: Connect to "c.1asphost.com/myusername/" on port 80
+ MooSock - On Connect
- Send text line "GET myaspfile.asp HTTP/1.0"
- Send text line Host: "http://www.myserver.com"
- Send text line
+ MooSock - On Received
Rich edit: Set text to Recv$( MooSock, 1024 )
This will set a rich edit text object to the text received - by the way, the text received will include all the HTML headers and everything, so you will need to use a delimeter to get rid of that. So in your asp page code:
[delimeter]rank|name|score
_________________
_1__|name1|score1
_2__|name2|score2
_3__|name3|score3[delimeter]
Then set string parser source to the text in the rich edit object, and then add delimeter of [delimeter] and get the first element. Should work fine
