<DIV>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Hello Xerte
Team,<BR><BR>I am trying to develop a Xerte project that will display the
keyboard of<BR>a button accordion, with the user able to select from a range
of<BR>keyboard sizes.<BR><BR>I have tried two different approaches to achieving
this, both on the<BR>same basic idea of having a page with a text Icon that is
then<BR>duplicated as many times as there are keys on the keyboard, by script
at<BR>run time.<BR><BR>Which ever method I use I have not been able to correctly
change the<BR>newly generated textIcon properties.<BR>I am sure it must be
something simple I am missing.<BR><BR>I need to be able to change the x and y
properties to position the key,<BR>To change its text to display the Note of the
key,<BR>to change its colour and its alpha property and to draw a
circular<BR>border around it.<BR><BR>I think once I can get the correct
expression to change one property I<BR>will be able to resolve everything else,
because then the correct syntax<BR>for accessing the icon, to get at its
properties and methods will have<BR>been identified.<BR><BR>Can you give me an
example of how I should be setting the properties, so<BR>that I can stop banging
my head against the wall ? :-)<BR><BR>Method 1. By using
duplicateIcon<BR>Page<BR> textIcon (id
= protoKey)<BR> script<BR><BR><BR>I
use the following in the
script<BR>=============================================================<BR>allKeys
= new Array();<BR>allKeys[0]= protoKey.duplicateIcon(0);<BR>allKeys[1]=
protoKey.duplicateIcon(0);<BR>// this is a test my intention will be to use a
loop to create the<BR>elements of the array<BR>// that will repeat once for each
key on the keyboard<BR>// new icons are created but I cannot set the
properties.<BR><BR>allKeys[0].clip()._y=100;<BR>// this is shifting the whole
project display, leaving a blank area 100<BR>deep at the top of the
project<BR>============================================================<BR><BR>Method
2. By using duplicate<BR>Page<BR>
script<BR> textIcon (no ID)<BR><BR>I
then use in the script<BR>===============================================<BR>//
create the number of text icons - each text icon will eventually be a<BR>key on
the keyboard display<BR>if (icon.attributes.built != "true"){<BR><BR>
icon.nextSibling.duplicate(5);<BR> icon.attributes.built = "true";<BR>//
the figure 5 is for testing to prove the concept, eventually it will<BR>be set
by the user in an earlier<BR>// interaction when they select the keyboard
size<BR><BR>// create an array of the text icons<BR>allKeys = new
Array();<BR>allKeys = icon.parentNode.findChildNodes("type","text");<BR><BR>// I
then want to be able to set properties for allKeys[0],
allKeys[1]<BR>etc.<BR>================================================<BR><BR><BR>Kind
