[Xerte] Problems with key press interaction in Decision icon

[Paul Swanson]

I don't understand what you mean by don't try and handle it from
individual icons. Should I not use an event response? Do I use a script
icon with if (rootIcon.onKeyDown) { displayPromt.nextPage(); } in a
framework entry pane?

you should handle rootIcon.onKeyDown, don't try and handle it from
individual icons.

I'm having problems using an onKeyDown event to move to the next page of
a Decision icon. It works on the first page, but on the second page,
when you press a key, the Decision icon goes wacko and zips instantly
through the rest of the pages and then seems to loop on the icons that
follow the Decision icon. I haven't even put onKeyDown events yet on the
Decision icon pages that zip through - those have timed events (which I
am attempting to change to "press any key to continue" onKeyDown
events).

Properties of my Decision icon:

id: displayPrompts

repeat: all

branch: sequence

pause: 1

erase: 0

eraseOnExit: 0

The keypress interaction is NOT perpetual.

Properties of the event response:

eventName: onKeyDown

icon: rootIcon

erase: 1

exit: 0

Contents of script icon attached to event response:

displayPrompts.nextPage();

Is there some way to set KeyDown to FALSE or something? Any advise
appreciated.
