[Xerte] Decision eraseOnExit does not work properly?

[Peter Huppertz]

Hi Dave,

as I see it 

erase=1 erases the content immediately after i leave it, even if i stay in 
the decision icon
erase=0 makes the content stay there
eraseonexit=1 should erase all the content of the decision icon when I 
move to another icon not located in the decision icon (not in my case ... 
this is the problem)
eraseonexit=0 the content stays there, even if I leave the decision icon

Nevertheless to make sure I tried all variants but none worked for me the 
right way ... eraseonexit does not seem to influence anything in my piece 
...

Thanks for your help! 

Peter

If it's modelled on the AW structure, then this is my take:

Erase=1 in the decision will erase anything the decision structure left on 
screen when the flow moves out of that structure.

EraseonExit=1 will leave any content the decision icon structure displays 
until the decision icon structure is exited.

So EraseonExit=1 should let your decision icons build up, Erase=1 will 
erase the whole shebang when the dec structure is exited.

Hi Dave, 

using the same ID was a tip from Julian and it seems to work. But indeed 
it is somehow unusual if you work with flash, html, etc. 
Small updates on my issue: 

1) all pages that I add after page2 are displayed one above the other. 
NOTHING get erased anymore ... 
2) If I change erase=1 in the decision icon the navigation and the display 
of the different pages works fine, the only drawback is, that the previous 
content in the decision icon gets erased also (as it should be regarding 
the help). I just want to build up my page using multiple parts.

This may have nothing to do with it, but are there 2 icons with the same 
id?
In Authorware this is a no-no and causes strange behaviours.

Hi List, 

I have the following structure: 

pageContainer 
-- fw id=currentFWID 
---- page1 
-------decision id=currentFWID, eraseOnExit=1, branch=sequence, repeat=all 

----------pagepart1.1 
----------pagepart1.2 
----- page2 

on an entrypage I created a button with the onRelease event script 
currentFWID.nextPage(). 
Everything works fine except that when I reach the end of the decision 
page2 is displayed on top of page1, thus the content of page1 is NOT 
erased at the end of the decision branch. What did I do wrong?
