[Xerte] restore combo box value

[Julian Tenney]

You should find Xerte is as good a replacement for Authorware as there
is, and, yes, the functionality to support templates and dynamic code is
very powerful.

 

To set a vlaue in  comboBox, use setSelectedIndex(n);

 

To see all methods and properties of an object, you can inspect(mc);
//this is how I just found setSelectedIndex(); *most* of them are in the
help file. Let me know any errant ones and I'll add them in.

 

Clip() is a method of the XMLNode class. It returns the movieclip that
has been created from a particular node in the .rlo file;

 

So, icon.parentNode.clip() returns the movieclip of the icon's parent.
Icon is an xmlNode - furthermmore, it is the current xmlNode in the
parser.

 

I wouldn't advise creating LOs with more than 100 pages. Break them into
chapters. Maybe it's just me, but my heart sinks when I open one up and
it says 'Page 1 of 253'.

Hi there,

i am testing Xerte to see whether it can be used as a replacement for
Authorware.
I think it is very powerful, especially the scripting to generate
multiple similar pages.
It would however be nice to have an overview of functions that can be
used in the scripting part (instead of having the look for it in the
templates).
In my current project I ran into the following problems:
1) is it possible to set (or restore) a value in a combo box?
  what does the function clip() do? I ran into this when setting an
option on a checkbox.
2) the default layout only supports pages up to 99. How do I change it
so that it show pages above 100?

Thanks in advance
