[Xerte] Setting Hotspot Highlights in a sript icon

[Paul Beckwith]

Thanks Dave, 

 

Your right, using parseInt() worked, it should have been one of the first
things that clicked in my head!

Most likely a typecasting issue.

The XML structure is all String.
The function wants a Number.

Thanks J, 

 

I'll draw the boxes.

 

One quick question on the same subject. . . 

 

This comes out with 503 :   debug(icon.parentNode.attributes.x);   

The box spans the entire screen when icon.parentNode.attributes.x is used
here:     hspotID.drawRect(icon.parentNode.attributes.x,100,50,50);

 

But manually putting "503" works fine

 

Can't figure out why this would be any different?

It wouldn't work in this case: the unerlying xml is used ot render the page.

 

So, it is used as the page initalises.

 

After the user has interacted with it is too late, unless you refresh the
page - which is not what you want,

How do you do it the proper way though? My underlying mission here is to
find out how to change the attributes in the XML via script..

 

Cheers Jules,

I'd just draw the highlight yourself

 

hotSpotID.lineStyle(1,0xFFFF00,100);

hotSpotID.drawRect(0,0,hotspotID._width, hostpotID._height);

When a user clicks on a hotspot, I want  the highlight property to change
from 0 to 1 so the highlight is then visible. 

 

I've tried a few different ways but I cant seem to get the code quite right.


 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers, 

 

Paul
