[Xerte] custom interface initialization

[Patrick Lockley]

If you know the actionscript you could try something with local connection and see if that works. Or do an FS command to something else.

 

If you have the most up to date Xerte, try creating a page template from the wizards menu. 

 

This will give you (in the folder you create the wizard in) a folder called models, in which you will find a lot of Xerte Models (rlm files). Inside these are examples of embedding captivate and jing swfs, which might give you some ideas.

Ok, now the debug shows correctly so the event is fired... but my function still seems not to be called.

Interface name is interficie, so the correct way should be interficie.clip.loadMenu(), right? Any way to debug that? To see if my function is called? I tried to call this._parent.debug("a veure?"); from the swf with no luck.

 

Sorry for all this questions, and thank you for your help.

Thank you Julian,

I tried, but it seems i dont know how to use events correctly. I added an interaction icon as a child right under interface icon, then a event icon int it with name and eventName set to "onLoad" and icon set to "rootIcon". Then added a script icon as a child to the event icon, with the name "load" and on the script I just wrote debug("hi");

 

Then even using default interface, no debug message is prompted...

 

I did that after trying to call my function with no luck.

 

Marc

I think that when you try and call the function, the swf file hasn't loaded yet. The interface icon (rootIcon) will fire onLoad when it does load and is ready to have it's functions called. You need to add an interaction with an event response. On the event respoinse set the icon to rootIcon, the event to onLoad and then add a  script icon to the response that calls your function.

Hi everyone,

I've developed a swf...
