Yeah ive even tried it with a brand new Xerte file, it works fine in
dreamweaver but nothing in Xerte. Have checked for typos and even

yes. You are loading it wiht FileLocation + 'myCSS.css', right? I just
tested it here and it works, must be a typo or something,

Thanks Julian, I'll give it a go.

 

I can't seem to get it working in just Xerte....

 

I have pointed to the css file using the styleSheet property in the LO

 

My css file works fine elsewhere and looks like this:

 

@charset "utf-8";

/* CSS Document */

 

 

title

{

font-family: arial;

size: 30px; 

}

 

subtitle

{

            font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

            size: 12px;

            font-size: 36px;

}

 

 

And when I am actually applying the styles, I am putting:

 

<title> hello </title> or <subtitle> hello again </subtitle>

 

Is this right?

good question.

 

_level0.engine.css should contain the stylesheet, so you ought to be
able to apply that to text fields in loaded swfs.

 

That makes the swf rely on Xerte for it's stylesheet. It might be better
to initialise the swf with a path to the stylesheet, and get the swf to
load the css itself - that way you can use the swf elsewhere more
easily. Depends how fussy you are about potentially reusing the swf and
the whole object oriented thing - I like to make swfs pretty much self
contained, and initialise them by passing any data they need to an init
function. It's a bit more work, but it keeps you out of trouble later.

I have a stylesheet in Xerte, can the styles in this sheet be used
inside a swf that is elsewhere in my Xerte project?
