[Xerte] Jumpfile oddness

Looking at JumpFile in the MainPreloader, a new movie clip, engine, is
created so any variables that exist in that scope should be killed
(those would be vars declared in your Xerte code, and anything set up by
the engine itself). Then the Engine loads, and the new file is parsed.
In theory it ought to run again from the top - you might need to put
some debugging into the engine and see what's not getting killed, or
behaving differently, when you load it again.

Fonts are linked in through the engine - they continue to work OK right?

What is _ytile when you re-run?

HTH,

Just wondering what persists from the original file when using jumpfile?

e.g. I know FileLocation retains the location of the original file, but
how about resources.swf, css, etc?

This all works in authoring mode, but off the server I'm getting a
perverse issue.

I'm using css and a compiled font library, as well as using _ytile to
space paragraphs of text.

- I have a router with nothing but a jumpfile call.

- When I do the jump, in the jumped to file the text blocks seem to
totally ignore the _ytile value and all appear at a y value of 0.


Anything "jump" out at anyone?

Dave
