[Xerte] xerte 2 desktop - checkbox & radio button question

[Julian Tenney]

Proto things re things about to be duplicated with code. So for an MCQ,
I have 2 proto Options to start with. If it turns out that the question
needs more responses than 2, I create them by duplicating the
prototypical response as many times as required. [proto == prototypical]

 

In the end they are just icons you never see, based on the protoIcons
that you do.

 

Right Dave?

Thanks, Julian.

I've played with setting the w and h of the radio/check buttons in
flex.rlo that got installed in C:\Program
Files\Xerte\templates\flexStyleControls, and that works.  

Where my understanding falls apart is how these relate to the
protoOptions created in the wizard.  I have only a vague understanding
of how protoOptions work and can't figure out how to get at the buttons
that are part of them.

You can set _width and _height to make them bigger.

Hi all
We're adapting the xerte page wizards to make content for use on a touch
screen, so buttons need to be roughly 50 x 50 pixels.

I've managed to adapt most everything I need except the check box and
radio buttons that are part of the quiz and multiple choice wizards.  I
looked in the source and found the following two lines, but can't find
any external swf files with these names.  Are they flex component
buttons?  

    box = this.attachMovie("FCheckBoxSymbol", "box"+this.levels,
this.levels);
    rad = this.attachMovie("FRadioButtonSymbol", "rad"+this.levels,
this.levels);

Are there external files I can change to make the buttons larger?
Something that doesn't require messing with the source code?

Is there another obvious solution I'm missing?

Thanks so much!
Mary Ann
