class=144075507-17042008></SPAN><SPAN class=144075507-17042008><FONT
face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2>Add the custom property 'swf' to the interface
icon. Use this to set the path to the custom swf file, i.e. FileLocation +
'ui/custom.swf';</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=144075507-17042008><FONT face=Verdana

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=144075507-17042008><FONT face=Verdana
color=#0000ff size=2>Tada! This also works for frameworks (the Interface
class is just a subclass of Framework with the additional UI stuff). So you
might develop a main framework interface for top level navigation, and a fw
navigator for nested pages).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=144075507-17042008><FONT face=Verdana

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=144075507-17042008><FONT face=Verdana
color=#0000ff size=2>What's happening? Each icon on the flowline becomes a
movieclip in the Flash Player. The custom.swf file is loaded as a child of that
movieclip, thus you can call _parent.nextPage(), etc. You can make use of
debug() in the loaded swf code to check things out. You can also call methods
within the loaded swf from Xerte code (iconID.controller.methodName()), perhaps
to update the graphics in the swf based on, say, suspend_data from the SCORM.
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=144075507-17042008><FONT face=Verdana
color=#0000ff size=2>Custom buttons work the same way - refer to the
templates/buttons folder and load them onto interaction icon button responses
using the swf property - by the way there are a load of custom buttons using the
Flex graphics in the flexStyleControls folder for you to use. I use those a lot.
You can also just load swfs as graphics in graphic icons and handle events such
as onRelease / onPress / onRollOver / onRollOut using the interaction icon and
event responses, but buttons allow you to more easily check / disable the
button.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=144075507-17042008><FONT face=Verdana
color=#0000ff size=2>My preference has been to create custom interfaces by
loading up a background graphic in the interface's entry frame, and using custom
buttons for the interactivity, because my own preference is to keep the code on
the Xerte side, and minimise the code in swfs I load for any UI / navigation
stuff. I may still load up swfs with a lot of code in them, but they are usually
for bespoke interactions, or including things that I can't easily build in
Xerte, but can more easily be accomplished in Flash (such as using
components), and they are very much black box style standalone swfs with an
init() method I call from Xerte to kick them off. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

and include it in other projects using the model property on the entry frame
icon (i.e. set it to FileLocation + 'myUI.rlm').</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

template in the templates folder somewhere. Basically what you do is create
a Flash movie. You load that into Xerte as a property of the interface icon,
and then you call the methods of the interface icon from code in your swf (i
think off the top of my head through _parent.nextPage() etc).

address the engine scope and access any variables / objects etc created in
your Xerte scripts from code in your interface through _level0.engine.myvar.
Thus you could combine the two together to create, for example, an interface
with a glossary button. Clicking the glossary button accessses varibles
created in the Xerte script itself, and is displayed using your
interface.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
