[Xerte] Use textIcon field of a text icon to display a graphictothe left of a text icon

Wed Aug 5 11:36:58 BST 2009

I have six text fields and two target areas in an interaction

Text fields 1 through 3 are correct for target area ta1, text fields 4
through 6 are correct for target area ta2

I would like to display a ? graphic against each text field, that will
move with them when they are dragged. Hence the attempt to use the
iconText field of the text icon.

When text field 1 is dropped onto ta2 (an incorrect user response) I am
changing the text colour to red but I also want to change the ? graphic
to a X graphic.

When text field 1 is dropped onto ta1 ( a correct user response) I am
changing the text colour to green but I also want to change the ?
graphic to a tick graphic.

At the moment the dragging works, the colour change works, the scores
increase or decrease depending on whether the response is correct or
incorrect.

However I cannot get the textIcon to appear beside the text at all. Only
once I can get it to display will I then be able to explore how I can
change the graphic from within a script.

Once I have cracked this I want to add a sound to play when a drop is
completed, either a right answer sound for a correct response or a wrong
answer sound for an incorrect response.

This is all using raw xerte.

Kind regards

Hello,

So you want a tick image to appear depending on where an item is
dropped?

Set the graphic to be invisible till the result even, then set it
visible?

tothe left of a text icon

Hello wonderful Xerte people,

Sorry if this has been covered in the list, but if it has I can't find
it. 

Searching on textIcon returns lots of hits for text icon :-( but nothing
for textIcon.

I have a page with a graphic and a text icon. 

I have set the textIcon property to 

FileLocation + 'media/Tick.png' 

which is the same value as the url field of the graphic icon.

The graphic icon shows in the page but fails to show as an icon to the
left of the text icon.

I am eventually aiming to have the text icon appear as a result of
dragging and dropping the text icon.

If the text icon is dragged onto the correct target area I want to
display a tick and if it is dropped onto the wrong target area a cross,
to the left of the text.

First - how do I even get the textIcon to display?

Second - can I change it by a script by using 

interactionId.objectDropped.XMLElement.attributes.textIcon =
"FileLocation + 'media/Tick.png'"

Kind regards

Johnathan
