In fooling with this issue I noticed setting "pause" on a decision
icon displays the first icon but does not seem to afford any way to advance.

The
question might be "How are you leaving the decision icon?"

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!

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?
