[Xerte] How to get the actual node/icon in an event script

[Peter Huppertz]

Hi Julian,

thanks for your response. Perhaps my question was not clear enough. What I 
want to do is to make a generic onRelease event for my next button in the 
entry frame. On the top level this is rootIcon.nextPage(), in a framework 
it is frameworkID.nextPage(), in a decision it is decisionID.nextPage(). 
That is clear. Now I'm looking for a possibility to tell my generic 
onRelease what the correct scope is. At the moment I use a variable 
actualLevel which stores the scope of nextPage() (e.g. I set actualLevel = 
decision1 so actualLevel.nextPage() calls the next page in the decision). 
So for every decision/framework I integrate I have to make a script which 
fills in the actual level variable correctly with the id of the 
decision/framework. Is there an easier way to do this (I tried to use 
this._parent instead of the ID, but this._parent is always _level0) ?
Thanks for you patience.

Peter

iconID.nextPage(), where iconID is the id of the decision icon, not the 
page icons.

Dear list, 

I have a Xerte piece which has different levels of pages using decision 
icons. I implemented a navigation in an entry frame that just calls 
rootIcon.nextPage() when the next button is clicked. This works fine for 
the navigation on the top level but fails obviously for subpages of a 
decision icon (instead of the next page in the decision icon the next top 
level page is opened).  I think I have to replace rootIcon with the actual 
(sub-)page I'm on, but can't figure out, how to do that without a lot of 
hassle (e.g. implementing a script on every page which stores the actual 
page reference in a variable).
