[Xerte] Tools.xml file fault?

[Tenney Julian]

Hmm. I'm not sure why it would not work for you when it works for me.
I'll have a look at it.

	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

				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.

				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,
