In an ASCII sense, yes that will work.
But I don't believe that will render as a <BR> within an HTML interpreter, if that's what the ultimate goal is.

Hi Julian

Sorry this is probably book 1
day 1 and I’m searching as we speak but I’m struggling for time. L
Now that this bit works I was trying to do System.setClipboard(myVariable1 +
“<br>” + myVariable2); which works in terms of pasting both
vars but doesn’t include the break when I paste. Do I need to use char
codes or something instead and if so what do I use to add carriage returns?

Cheers

Ron

System.setClipboard(myVariable);

Hi
Julian

I
revisited this template I was working on back in June and got the tracking
working fine thanks. In doing so I seem to remember you have something built-in
to one or more of the controllers to copy sync points to the clipboard so I
wondered if there is a way I can include a button in a page which when clicked
copies some variable text to the clipboard?

Cheers

Ron

Thanks
Julian very helpful as always.

I’ll
give the array suggestion a try at some point.

I
guess I was really asking if all this already existed eg. a print button and/or
a function in some of the existing php code to call and pass the text info
which pops up a link to open or save the file a bit like what happens now with
export creating a zip -  although I know that’s not called from an
LO.

Likewise
we’re able to add carriage returns using the editor so thought it might
be possible when playing the piece too. Again I’ll have a look at some
point.

Cheers

Ron

1.      
I’d initialise
an array called tracking:

 

If
(tracking == undefined)

{ 

 
Tracking = new Array();

}

 

And
then use the current page index to refernece the data slot:
tracking[rootIcon.currentPage] = ‘myInputText’;

 

2.      
A) no. But you can
do a custom print job. Read up in the Flash referene for the PrintJob class I
think.

B)
How will you save the txt file? Getting the text is easy, making a button is
easy, then pass the text thorough to a php file that saves the file?

 

3.      
Dunno. What does the
Flash help say on .multiline?

Hi Julian/all

I was asked by a colleague about
the stimulating question template and if there was a version where the user
could type a response and then hit the button to see a pre-prepared exemplar
answer. So very similar to the existing template except with an input textbox.
I thought I’m sure I could quickly tweak/build that and so did, although
I struggled to work out how to use the rs property of the textbox at first. I
also wanted the textbox to retain whatever was entered when the user browses
past and then back to that page which was fine I got that to work too. You can
see an example at: http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/compareAnswer
However the reason for this message...

 

1.      
I then realised that the way I coded this if another
page based on the template is added to the same LO the answer entered/stored in
the first example is also displayed in the second example. However I
can’t work out how to make the rs property name dynamic and so to store
and display different text in however many pages of this type are added?

2.      
Also are there existing functions I could use to: 

a) have a print button on the page rather than use the browser print menu

b) have a save this response button – which creates a text file
containing the input text and example answer?

I’m sure these options could be useful in lots of ways.

3.       I
vaguely recall this has been asked before – is there a way to enable
carriage returns in the input text box?

 

Cheers

Ron
