Fill<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV></DIV>Xerte users,<BR> <BR>I'm a Xerte newbie with a quick
question.<BR> <BR>I'm using a text icon as a drag and drop element (I
need to programmatically change the text based on the current screen - which I
know how to do with the text icon). However, I've been unable to get the
text field to show a solid fill (background). Is this
possible?<BR> <BR>It may be better to use a draw icon for the drag and
drop... but I don't see how I could change the text within the draw
element. Is this possible?<BR> <BR>Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.<BR> <BR>As an Authorware and Flash user, I find
Xerte to be a great product. I plan on using it a lot in the
future. Any plans for deployment on Linux or
Mac?<BR> <BR>Thanks,<BR>Kent<BR><BR>
