Q1 needs to be perpetual

Highlight interaction
Properties
perpetual 1

Then the flow can continue past the interaction to the remaining icons.

Code words changing colour for the win

I am apparently not completing the interaction. I’ve attached the rlo. Can you see if I’m missing something? (I tried copy + pasting just the interaction
 into the e-mail but it was a bit messy, if you have blocked attachments I can try again)

Just to avoid confusion:

debug("hello");

No leading upper case.

With leading upper case it will silently fail.

Are you exiting from the interaction?

Place a script below the interaction and type

Debug(“hello”);

Into it.

Do you see Xerte display the message?

The interaction prevents the yellow highlighting until it appears on the page I think

Have you experimented with the debug function?

It is below the interaction. But that’s where the tutorial says to put things (the second radio buttons tutorial places the initScript
 specifically after the Submit button to ensure the button exists when the script runs. Having followed this tutorial, I’m afraid the initScript also appears to not be running).

If the test text box I placed after the Interaction exists but is waiting for the Interaction to complete, I should surely see a
 yellow outline when I Shift+F5, to manipulate the text box size and position? That isn’t visible either.

The text box that is supposed to update when the submit button is clicked does update (ie, the script works), but is only visible
 when the text box is positioned in the list before the Interaction.

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?
