[Xerte] Re: Get index using clip nomen - kind of urgent

[Dave Burnett]

Brilliant!

Half-way.

Now I have the reference to <PG>
Now how do I find out what index or child number it is? 

I need to get it's parent so I can then find out what the index() is.

<DEC>
  <PG> // need the index of this page
    <DIS> //can get this

I can trap this:

_level0.engine.IFC.PG_MC3.DEC_MC1.PG_MC2.DEC_MC3.PG_MC3.DIS_MC4

I need to get it's parent so I can then find out what the index() is.

<DEC>
  <PG> // need the index of this page
    <DIS> //can get this

Can't figure the syntax
