<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I'm quite new
to Xerte and try to create my first project using a custom made interface. The

box is a movieclip on the main timeline of the interface.swf file. I want to
change the width of these boxes using scripts in Xerte. So I tried
rootIcon.box1._width = 400 and rootIcon.clip.box1._width = 400 and even
rootIcon.swf.box1._width = 400 - no luck. I couldn't find a hint in the Xerte
help ... can you help me?</span> <br>

there any complex learning objects out there that use custom made interfaces,
