<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi Julian,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Unfortunately I don’t have simple drag and drop

<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The exercise below uses Arrays to store the coordinates

dropped on their target they don't stick. Do you know why?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi Julian,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I've managed to get my imported Flash to work by
inserting this code:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>this._lockroot= true; <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>at the beginning of the Action script in frame one but I
have<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>encountered two anomalies<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>1. My imported Flash is playing at twice the speed it was
designed to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>play at. i.e. 24 fps NOT 12 fps (See frame 1 )<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>2. The drop items on my drag and drop exercise cannot
find their target<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>(See frame 2): <a

<p class=MsoPlainText>I've included a link to the source code which was saved

<p class=MsoPlainText>Julian, you are legend!! That is exactly the problem with

<p class=MsoPlainText>looked into and implemented _lockroot and the swf is now
working spot<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>on! All I did was put 'this._lockroot' in the first frame

<p class=MsoPlainText>I cannot open your flash file in Flash 8 to see why this
is failing, but<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I can load the swf into a raw xerte file using the

<p class=MsoPlainText>interactivity fails.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If I load it up in a component icon, it works.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>You need to make sure that you are setting _lockroot to
true in the swf,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>and that your code in the swf is not making any
assumptions about where<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>in the Flash movieclip hierarchy it is. If you use
'_root' in your code,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>when it is loaded into Xerte, _root wont be where it was
when the swf<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>runs alone, and so things get screwed up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Componetn icons take care of the _lockroot thing
themselves, graphic<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>icons don't. So I imagine that is your problem,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Lets simplify things.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Does it work if you use it as a component in a raw, empty
Xerte file?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Subject: RE: [Xerte] RE: Importing Flash into Xerte Hi
Julian<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks for this, unfortunately I have already tried this
and had no joy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I also removed any rollover text just in case that was
blocking<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>interactivity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The resource behaves very strangely, the rollover on the
button on the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>first frame works but the code to move onto the next
frame doesn't<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>work...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I did a bit of research into the template and noticed
that the flash<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>animation is being treated as a graphic and when I am not
using the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>template I embed it as a component, I wonder if this has
anything to do<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>with it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I have had exactly the same problem. I was using the
pageTemplates file<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>to create a learning module and any flash files that I
imported were<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>being treated as images and lost all interaction.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I did receive some helpful advice on this and tried this
with a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>different swf that was provided and this appeared to
function<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>correctly!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I would be very interested to hear if you are able to get
this problem<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>solved!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>No, theose files should work, but it depends on how they
were put<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>together, and without a bit more info I can't really
offer any more<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>insight. Check the archives. Do you have the flash source
code?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi Guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I have to migrate 180 hours of e-learning material from
our proprietary<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>VLE into Moodle and was hoping to use Xerte to display
the media rich<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>content. I've tried to import the current Flash content
into Exerte but<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>it doesn't animate and the ActionScript doesn't work. The
content was<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>created in Flash CS3 Professional using ActionScript 2
and I'm trying to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>import it into Xerte v2.5.9. I remember reading in the
manual that<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Exerte was written using ActionScript 1. Is this the
reason why the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>imported content doesn't display correctly?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I've attached a zip file which includes the HTML,
JavaScript, swf and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>fla files in the hope you can identify the problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
