I couldn't find a good tutorial that explains what to do after you write the XML. I have the XML, and a style font made. I'm just not sure how to hook this up properly with actions. I'm getting errors when I do it so I'd rather see the proper way. Could someone post code, or upload a map of how to do proper hooking up of Dialog Items with my XML?

You've created the layout for something but haven't actually put it into the standard game interface anywhere.

You can either put it into the standard interface by adding it to UIContainer or some descendant in the GameUI layout, or you can use the trigger actions "Create Dialog Item From Template" or "Create Dialog Item In Panel From Template" to create it in a dialog or a panel using the template you made there.

Right that's what I was asking for help with. I'm getting an error when I'm hooking it up and wanted to see someone do it the correct way. Do I create a Dialog Item for each Frame item in xml, or do I just create one for the initial panel. If I have to create a Dialog Item for each component what is the proper order?

Thanks for answering my question. If I want to dynamically change my text how can I do that? I can't seem to find any method to grab a dialog item by name.

There is an action for getting an inner dialog item by name. Just look for it in the library browser.
