screen at the same time. Set the erase and eraseOnExit properties to 0, then the
flow will zip through all the pages, display the contents and move out of the
decision with everything on the screen. Add as many pages to the decision as you
want, and add your content to those pages.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

does pageID.stopDrag(); </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

panels with text<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I really like the Flex-style panels available in
Xerte, and would like to use them as "callout" containers. I can do this
easily enough if they are not draggable. But in order to get the text to move
with the panels, each panel has to be a page object, so it seems you can only
have one on the stage at a time. If I use a Graphic icon for the panel, and
then a Text icon for the text, should't I be able to use an onDrag event, grab
the x & y coords of the graphic icon, do a little math and then move the
text object accordingly? I've tried using an Event Interaction with onDrag as
the event and the id of the graphic icon as the icon "property", but it
doesn't seem to trigger anything. And I've tried just adding a text icon to
the even that prints "I'm being dragged around!" but the text never appears,
which leads me to believe I'm not doing the Event properly. Any
tips?</FONT></P>
