[Xerte] How to address contents in the rootIcon

[Julian Tenney]

Here are some good examples of Xerte content, both custom content and
the default interface.

Shows all of the page types you can create  with the pageTemplates Xerte
template. If your technical skills are low, or you don't write any code,
this is a good example of the sort of content you can quite easily
create.

 

Here is an example of real-life content created with toolkits by
non-technical people

This is a good example of a toolkits project, extended with cutom flash
movies to add in additional functionality not available in the template
directly

This example uses the default interface, but custmises it a little bit:

This is template that uses a custom interface

This is a project using a custom swf to control it:

 

These are completely custom projects, from the ground up, that show
quite well what Xerte is capable of:

The property is .controller - that's the loaded swf. You need to make
sure that it's loaded before you can address it's properties,

Hi List, 

I'm quite new to Xerte and try to create my first project using a custom
made interface. The layout of the interface uses two different boxed to
organize the content. Each box is a movieclip on the main timeline of
the interface.swf file. I want to change the width of these boxes using
scripts in Xerte. So I tried rootIcon.box1._width = 400 and
rootIcon.clip.box1._width = 400 and even rootIcon.swf.box1._width = 400
- no luck. I couldn't find a hint in the Xerte help ... can you help me?


By the way: are there any complex learning objects out there that use
custom made interfaces, combinations of built in functionalities and
externally loaded flash files, etc. to learn from? 

Thanks, 

Peter
