it's modelled on the AW structure, then this is my take:<br>
<br>
Erase=1 in the decision will erase anything the decision structure left on
screen when the flow moves out of that structure.<br>
<br>
EraseonExit=1 will leave any content the decision icon structure displays until
the decision icon structure is exited.<br>
<br>
So EraseonExit=1 should let your decision icons build up, Erase=1 will erase
the whole shebang when the dec structure is exited.<br>

This may have nothing to do with it, but are there 2 icons with the same id?<br>
In Authorware this is a no-no and causes strange behaviours.<br>
