For example -- in my .fla, I<BR>> set an action for a button of:<BR>><BR>> on (release) {<BR>> _parent.navToPage(rootIcon.pages.length)<BR>> }<BR>><BR>> To have the user able to skip to the last page.

I set up a dynamic text component in the .swf and set<BR>> another button with the action:<BR>><BR>> on (release) {<BR>> pagenum_txt.text = rootIcon.CurrentPage<BR>> }<BR>><BR>> However, upon clicking the button, the dynamic text displays<BR>> "undefined".<BR>><BR>> Is there a trick to allowing access to Xerte components/scripts from<BR>my<BR>> .swf? Here is a .zip with both the Xerte project and my .fla.

My only problem is that, while I don't seem<BR>to<BR>> have any trouble with it in a basic Xerte project, when I try to use<BR>it<BR>> in this template, I have trouble getting the navigation to work. Do<BR>you<BR>> have any documentation regarding the scripting behind the Page<BR>> Templates<BR>> and how navigation functions? My interface has four buttons (advance<BR>> one<BR>> page, step back one page, first page, last page) and a dynamic text<BR>> field (for current page / total pages).
