[Xerte] Button using swf flashes on screen

[Dave Burnett]

Do either of the buttons have the initial state of visible 0 set in the properties panel?

I have just completed a page with two buttons that display using 
the same swf.
 
Initially the first button is displayed, when you click on this 
button,

  
  some text is displayed
  
  the first button is made invisible
  
  the second button is displayed
When you click the second button 

  
  the second button is made invisible
  
  the text is made invisible
  
  an image is displayed
This is achieved without flicker
The interaction structure is as follows. The final script sets up 
the initial visibility requirements for the page, the button scripts then change 
visibilities as required.
 
Interaction (perpetual = 0)
  Button1
     Script (button2._visible = true; 
text._visible = true; button1._visible = false;)
  Button 2
     Script (image._visible = true; 
text._visible = false; button2._visible = false;)
  Script (image._visible = false; text._visible = false; 
button2._visible = false;)
 
I don't know if this will help you resolve your 
problem
 
Kind regards

Hi Paul,

I did use the rs as a target to make the button 
visible again:

prev_button_rs._visible = 1;

When 
I want to hide a graphic element, I use iconID.fade(‘out’,  .01);, then 
fade it in when I want to reveal it: iconID.fade(‘in’, 1);
 
For 
a button, you’ll probably need to use the rs property instead of the id 
property.

I’m 
not sure what’s happening here…?
 
You 
have a swf button, set to be invisible? Not sure I’ve ever had a button set to 
invisible – I personally don’t like to hide and show buttons, prefer to enable / 
disable them, but maybe that’s just me…
 
But 
if its set to be invisible it ought to be invisible – i.e. not flicker… probably 
a timing thiig in the engine, as it probably waits for the button to load before 
setting the visibility, hence the flicker. I’ll look tomorrow.

I have 
set the visible prop to 0 for that response, but I get a momentary on-screen 
flash of the swf before it hides.
Expected behavior or I've sequenced 
something wrong?
