[Xerte] Tools.xml file fault?

[Mark Tomlinson, AC&S Ltd]

OK, but now I see the items on the menu in Xerte, where I didn't before.

No, because the <item label="Folder...> contains it's child nodes. You're
not closing that first tag anywhere now.

It does now I modified it from:
 
<item label="Folder" icon= "icTools">
<item label="Command" data= "cmd.swf" icon="icOptions"/>
</item>
<item type = "separator"/>
<item label="Find" data= "find.swf"/>
<item type = "separator"/>
<item label="Colour Scheme" data= "colour.swf"/>

to
 
<item label="Folder" icon= "icTools">
<item label="Command" data= "cmd.swf" icon="icOptions"/>
<item type = "separator"/>
<item label="Find" data= "find.swf"/>
<item type = "separator"/>
<item label="Colour Scheme" data= "colour.swf"/>
 
There seems to be an extra 
</item>  tag in there

Mark,
 
The xml looks fine to me, and it when I click the tools menu, I get the
right items on it, and they run when I select them. Does that not happen for
you?

Yes, I saw those in the folder, but they were not showing on the menu until
I edited the XML slightly.  I am on a different machine now, but I think
there was an extra closing tag in there by accident?

I am interested in developing more, but I feel I need to get my head around
the basics first ;-)

Cheers

Mark

The only two that should be there are colour scheme and the find command.
Are you intereseted in developing more?

It looks like there is a fault in the tools.xml file that comes with Xerte?
I don't see all the commands that come with Xerte on the menu by default.
Editing the XML file makes them available.

{'Hello
' + myVar + '
Goodbye'}
 
You're evaluating a whole expression inside the {}'s. It's not like
Authorware where you can have multiple {}'s inside your display icons. In
this case the expression creates the whole string.
 
Another way to set text is to do iconID.setText(myText);

Morning all, 

 

Does anybody know how to how to use a variable in a text icon without it
being on it's own independent line?

 

ie.

 

Helllo

{myVar}

Goodbye

 

Works Fine..

 

Hello {myVar} Goodbye 

 

Displays exactly as shown above...

 

Thanks in advance,
