Might it be that it's below the interaction and not showing till the interaction completes?

Hi,

What am I looking for when I open it in Notepad? The bits that disappeared aren't in there.

I'm guessing Version control system updates Xerte each time a patch is released? I don't use one. Although I downloaded Xerte maybe 8 weeks ago, I've only been able to start working with it this week, and the website says the last update was July 14th, so I think I have the most recent version.

Try opening up the .rlo file in notepad or similar...

Do you use a version control system like Subversion?

Subject: [Xerte] Objects disappearing from interface

Hi

I have been working on a basic radio buttons interaction using the Wiki as a guide.

I got it working, and as part of tidying up, I tried to shift my FeedBack text to be the last object in the interface. I dragged it down until the thin black line appeared just above Deleted Items.

The Feedback text disappeared completely. It wasn't moved to Deleted Items, it just disappeared. Having done that, I tried to recreate it, but it wasn't visible (when I ran the learning object) unless I added it before the interaction in the list of objects in the page. Trying to move it to the bottom of the list, it disappeared again.

Are they going somewhere I can recover them from, or just being permanently deleted?

Also, after the first Feedback text disappeared, because the buttons had been working I moved onto the extended Radio Buttons tutorial, and the scripts in that one weren't recognised: The original script still worked, but it was as though anything after the Submit button script didn't exist, so the last couple of objects weren't drawn (I tested with a basic text box: the box was drawn when I placed it before the Radio buttons interaction, but not afterwards. I set the button script to disable the button when a certain answer was chosen and that works, but nothing after that point does).

Have you any idea why this is happening?
