<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>The thing to remember is that every icon beocmes a MovieClip - so see the Flash 8 docs for a complete reference. The clips are instantiated from the .rlo file's .xml, so x determines _x and so on.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Template projects are created at runtime. I know there is some effort right now out there to make the set of models work in standalone pieces (so you can create a bespoke piece, but add models).</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Xerte 3 is in a pretty good alpha state right now, and ought to *mostly* work. It is not complete yet, so some features I expect to add are not there yet. Any feedback will be very welcome - now is a good time to influence where this is going. I need to write a quick guide to it, as it is quite different to Xerte 2.6, but you can probably start to figure quite a bit out for yourselves.</FONT>

<P><FONT size=2>Hi everyone<BR><BR>I have been creating learning objects from scratch and its going well; I have<BR>just found it difficult to find documentation on the api and accessing<BR>properties in my scripts. Any pointers on the following would be great ( links<BR>to RTFM welcome ie is it time to bring out the ActScript references)<BR><BR>* Acessing a graphics width? (x and y are through ._x)<BR><BR>* In the editor what fields can be scripted and what properties are availabe? eg<BR>I set some of my labels using _ytile, but I do not know where that property<BR>comes from or how it works.<BR><BR>* this has probably been asked before, is it possible to create a template<BR>project then export the built project with all its icons formed (as opposed to<BR>a templated project with the icons formed at runtime)?<BR>OR<BR>Brief documentation on using some of the existing models in projects eg what is<BR>required to setup the object, limitations, assumptions.<BR><BR><BR>I look foward to testing version 3 when I have some down time :)<BR><BR>Thanks in advance<BR>Donald<BR><BR><BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
