[Xerte] navigate(199) fail!

[Julian Tenney]

You can do 

 

rootIcon.clear()

rootIcon.hideControls()

 

you might have to play around with the y position of rootIcon.

 

208 pages is way too big in my view, not from a technical point of view but from the point fo view of the learner opening the course and seeing 'Page 1 of 208'. Personally, that would be all I read of the content. Can't you split it into chapters or something?

 

I've been through the engine code looking for anything happening at depth 200 and found a few things, which I've now changed. Try this engine and see. Otherwise, there must be something swapiping depths to 200 on rootIcon, or a control is placed there. I never imagined anyone would create 200+ pages in a learning object. I do want to fix the problem though, because i) it's a problem and should be fixed, and ii) who am I to tell you your course is too big?

Just wondering... can we have a versión of XMLEngine.swf which interface is just a transparent movieClip? So we can have visual set to 1 with no blue stuff in our beautiful orange interface? J.

 

I know its not an elegant solution, but our course starts on Monday J.

I'm not wise at all J, but the course has plenty of examples and exercices.

 

Thanks for the try, but with the new engine it still doesn't work.

Really bizarre  that with interface visual set to 1 it works, but setting your interface to 0...BOOM... just with this page... ¿is it some kind of mystic number? 

 

The meaning of life is 199.

Any more ideas? I'll continue debuging

Nottingham we have a problem.

 

We have 208 pages in our course. 

 

Quite. Is that wise?
