<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I don't think that would work. In the background, Xerte is breakApart() ing a text icon. It returns an array of movie clips, one for each word in the icon's text, with a textField in it, formatted with the appropriate TextFormat to display the word. The icons's text comes from the template xml - it is what you enter into the wizard. Then, based on the positions of the |s in the word, process those movie clips, displaying them properly without the pipes, and layering on top of each either a textfield or a target area response (and if nesessary create the draggable items).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>It will depend on how those characters survive breakApart().</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Helper methods of ICON like breakApart() are really, er, helpful. They don't impact the file size much so I'm always open to new / better ones. You can easily add your own into your own XMLEngine.swf from XMLEngine.fla - see the ICON class, or add them to specific classes, like INTERACTION if you only need certain types of icon to have those methods.</FONT></DIV>
