[Xerte] About frameworkTemplate.fla

Tue Jun 3 12:12:20 BST 2008

I have fairly good experience with AS 1.0 and 2.0 and I am also very
familiar with XML. I have no experience with AS3.0 and fery low with
flash components,

I am not a programmer, I work in Marketing, but I have made myself
learning objects before in flash that pull information from an
external XML at runetime.

I believe I have for now a problem with the concept from Xerte, I am
not sure what can I send from Xerte and how, and I dont know either
what kind of information can I get in my swf.

I believe as soon as I figured out the how Xerte works, I will have no
problem with the tool, I believe is a nice tool to use in the future.

Thanks,

 Eloy

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.
