<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">do you have an example of a custom interface swf that works with toolkits you can share? Or does anyone else?</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I agree the last thing we want to lose is the accessibility features so it would be great to see a custom example which retains those features or at least the main ones.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I'm creating some support material at the moment (aimed at teachers not developers) and for example creating one on the different learning object properties so it would be good to be able to include the custom interface optional property.</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt">So if I understand you correctly, I can create the new interface in the Xerte application by starting with the framework template? or is there a specific fla file I need to copy from the framework template, then modify and then upload into Xerte? I basically need to apply global artwork to the interface that sits behind the functioning application to make it look like our powerpoint slides.</P></DIV>

If you download the windows version of Xerte it’s much easier to play around with – in the templates folder use the Framework template to create the swf,</SPAN></P></DIV>
