I downloaded the Xerte toolkit, extracted the files and in my learning object, I replaced the XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf, and added the language folder; but the formulae is still not displaying. Would it help if I installed Xerte 3.0 and imported and exported the learning object from this?
