<div>It will work. </div>
<div><font face="tahoma"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma">If I were redesigning an interface that would work with toolkits content, the single bestpiece of advice is that I would make the stage area, for page content 800 x 514 pixels. Do what you want in the top and bottom bars, but layout
is often hardcoded around those dimensions in the templates. You can position the content area with code, but keep it 514 height, because thats the height the templates all assume for layout.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma">You could have a thick top bar and thin bottom bar, as we have now, or make a thick bottom bar, or whatever, but if you stick to 514 for the content area you can exploit pretty much the whole xerte toolset, bespoke content, hyprid projects,
or bespoke stuff.</font></div>

<div><span>So if we "publish" to ".swf" file the "XMLEngine.fla" and replace it for the XOT "XMLEngine.swf" then it should work ?</span></div>
