[Xerte] Editing tips?

[Julian Tenney]

I think we're going round in circles.

 

You select an icon in the tree - a child of a button;

 

CTRL-F5

 

Flow halts at the interaction - as it should, right:

 

You click the button - as normal - then the child is ready for editing?

 

That's whats supposed to happen.

 

Now you can click the button again and move it if you want. But if you
could do that before, you wouldn't be able to actually click it.

 

Am I missing something?

If you SHIFT-F5 or CTRL-SHIFT-F5 the currently selected icon in the tree
is set up for visual editing - i.e. you can position / resize it with
the mouse. In this mode, you can then select all other icons and move
them with the mouse as well.

 

 

It does not seem to get to that icon.

The reload happens and flow halts at the interaction above that icon.

I then have to click the button and the flow moves down to the original
target.

Now that isn't that much of a pain, it just doesn't seem to be acting
the way it should, and in conjunction with the Draw icon double-click
not bringing up the editor, I'm just wondering if either: Installs on
Win2K do strange things, or I am doing something wrong.

 

  

That mode only kicks in once the selected icon is reached on the stage -
because if it was behind a button, you'd never be able to get to it
otherwise, as clicking the button would select it for editing, rather
than fire it's response.

 

Hmm, as above, I have to trigger the intervening button, and then I get
to the icon I want to edit.

Hi all,

Has anyone gigged up a cheat sheet or is there a resource for editing
practices?

I'm probably doing something backwards, or since some things don't seem
to work as they say on the can it may be something in my setup.
e.g. doubleclicking a draw icon on the tree does not open the draw
editor.
If I highlight an icon below an interaction in the tree and hit
Shift/Cntrl/F5 it loads and comes to rest at an icon above that
interaction.
How does sequence/layering work? I am having difficulty reaching icons
that appear to be "under" another icon on the display.

Cheers,

Dave
