<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>there is an onData event I can trap for you on loadVars. You can point to a url, I can get an icon to load it via loadVars, intercept the onData event, and pass it back to your code in an event handler iconID.onData. I can set iconIdD.rawData or similar and then when you handle iconID.onData you can have a text icon {iconID.rawData}.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial>The onData event fires before onLoad, and lets you access the raw text in the file you loaded. Same with the XML class. Basically it's readExtFile(). I'm not sure if there is support for it right now in Xerte, but it is five minutes to add it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial>Under the hood, Xerte uses the same class to display graphic icons and text icons, so the <DIS> nodes can have url properties, but they refer to the URL for an image for the graphic icon. There's some code that goes </FONT></DIV>
