[Xerte] About frameworkTemplate.fla

Tue Jun 3 11:32:36 BST 2008

Hello all,

I have been using Xerte for a few days and I am getting ahead in my
learning curve, but some things are still a bit of a problem for me to
understand.

I have been working for hours trying to figure out how to insert a
page count into my template (I am using the TechDis template as a
model). I am still having a problem to understand the communication
between the Xerte interface and my custom interface. I did try to
apply the .rlo that Julian shared yesterday -when I look at it, it
makes sense, but I am still unable to get the info from Xerte. I
believe I am not clear on the hierarchy of elements in the Xerte
interface.

I have uploaded my template here:

http://www.meymun.com/xerte01/latestVersion01v5.zip

In sum, what I am trying to do here are two things:

1. Make a page count
2. Get the title of the Learning Object and the titles of each page
into my template.

If anyone can give me a hand on this I would very much appreciate it,
I am hitting a wall here.

Thanks a lot to everyone,

Eloy
