<div>Hello Matteo,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Try the following</div><div><br></div><div>Create a new desktop xerte project with the icon structure</div><div><br></div><div>Learning Object</div><div> Interface</div><div>
page</div><div> image (id = myPic url = FileLocation + 'media/myFileName.jpg')</div><div> interaction (perpetual setting is either 1 or 0 depending on whether you want the execution flow to stop at the interaction)</div>
<div> HotObject (rs = myPic click = 1)</div><div> Script</div><div><br></div><div>The contents of the script are</div><div><br></div><div>debug("clicked"); // will display a debug message in preview mode to confirm click was detected<br>
getURL('<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">http://www.bbc.co.uk</a>','_blank'); // change the first parameter to match the url of the file you want to open</div><div>// getURL will open a window in your browser</div>
<div><br></div><div>Notes on properties</div><ul><li>You need to set the image icon's id property so that this can be used in the HotObject to identify what object it is responding to.</li><li>The interaction Icon can have a perpetual property of 1 or 0 try both, one of the values will stop the project flow at the interaction but I can't remember which it is - so play around with this setting.</li>
<li>The HotObject icon's rs property must be set to the same value as the Image icon's id property. The click property is set to 1 if you want the event to trigger on clicking or 0 if you want to trigger the event on mouse over.</li>
</ul><div>Hope this solves your problem</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards </div><div><br></div><div>Johnathan</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 30 December 2011 11:26, pippo pluto <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:matis25@yahoo.com">matis25@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The ID is used as the unique identifier of an icon, so once you set the icon property of an icon you can refer directly to it by using its ID. That is except for icons that are normally the children of an interaction icon i.e. the sort of icons you see listed when you right click on an interaction icon in desktop Xerte e.g. button, hotspot etc. These use the rs property to identify themselves and not the id property. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Julian will know the why's and wherefore's of this.</div><div><br></div><div>You can read about it in the "interactions overview" section of the Xerte help file.</div><div><br></div>

Hello Matteo,</div></div><div><div> </div></div><div><div>Sorry I don't have time to test this solution before suggesting it.</div></div><div><div> </div></div><div><div>
Check out the Xerte help files.</div></div><div><div> </div></div><div><div>I don't think that by default an image icon is sensitive to mouse events and thus will not trigger an onRelease event.</div>
</div><div><div> </div></div><div><div>However you can add a hotObject icon to an interaction and then add an image icon as a child of the hotObject. This will allow mouse events to be detected by the image. I am not sure if the event will be triggered by the hot object or the image. If it is the hot object icon then you may need to use the rs property rather than the id property to identify the hotObject icon when specifying what object sends the event.</div>
</div><div><div> </div></div><div><div>Kind regards</div></div><div><div> </div></div><div><div>Johnathan</div></div><div> </div><div><div>
