[Xerte] Decision eraseOnExit does not work properly?

[Dave Burnett]

In fooling with this issue I noticed setting "pause" on a decision icon displays the first icon but does not seem to afford any way to advance.

The question might be "How are you leaving the decision 
icon?"

  Hi Dave, 

as I see it 

erase=1 erases the content immediately after i leave it, even if i stay 
  in the decision icon 
erase=0 makes the 
  content stay there 
eraseonexit=1 
  should erase all the content of the decision icon when I move to another icon 
  not located in the decision icon (not in my case ... this is the 
  problem) 
eraseonexit=0 the content 
  stays there, even if I leave the decision icon 

Nevertheless to make sure I tried all variants but none 
  worked for me the right way ... eraseonexit does not seem to influence 
  anything in my piece ... 

Thanks 
  for your help! 

Peter

If it's modelled on the AW structure, 
  then this is my take:

Erase=1 in the decision will erase anything the 
  decision structure left on screen when the flow moves out of that 
  structure.

EraseonExit=1 will leave any content the decision icon 
  structure displays until the decision icon structure is exited.

So 
  EraseonExit=1 should let your decision icons build up, Erase=1 will erase the 
  whole shebang when the dec structure is exited.

Hi Dave, 

using the 
  same ID was a tip from Julian and it seems to work. But indeed it is somehow 
  unusual if you work with flash, html, etc. 
  
Small updates on my issue: 

1) all pages 
  that I add after page2 are displayed one above the other. NOTHING get erased 
  anymore ... 
2) If I change erase=1 in the decision icon the navigation and the 
  display of the different pages works fine, the only drawback is, that the 
  previous content in the decision icon gets erased also (as it should be 
  regarding the help). I just want to build up my page using multiple 
  parts.

This may have nothing to do with it, 
  but are there 2 icons with the same id?
In Authorware this is a no-no and 
  causes strange behaviours.

Hi List, 

I have the 
  following structure: 

pageContainer 
  
-- fw id=currentFWID 
---- 
  page1 
-------decision id=currentFWID, eraseOnExit=1, branch=sequence, 
  repeat=all 
----------pagepart1.1 
----------pagepart1.2 
----- page2 

on an 
  entrypage I created a button with the onRelease event script 
  currentFWID.nextPage(). 
Everything works fine except that when I reach the 
  end of the decision page2 is displayed on top of page1, thus the content of 
  page1 is NOT erased at the end of the decision branch. What did I do 
  wrong? 

Peter
