[Xerte] navigate(199) fail!

[Marc Torruella Altadill]

No worries, i know it exists, but our interface hiddes it. So we know, you
know, but they wont ever know, muhahahaha!. 

Ok, I continue with the next issue, how to communicate Xerte and moodle
through scorm js. No manual with an example yet, right? J

 

I guess I’ll bother you on Monday with that
 oh, Monday you’ll be in
Barcelona, I hope you like it J. 

My tourist guidance offer is still up.

No, don’t do that. Even though you don’t see the pages, they do exist.

It is already splitted into chapters J, we have 10 lessons with 3 or 4
practical cases each,  with 4 or maximum 19 pages each J.

So the maximum the student see is  1 of 19.

 

I did a work around for now. We duplicated the page, and hardcoded an
automatic jump from 199 to 200. It works
  

Btw
 all pages could have the same depth, no need to increase it everytime
you create a new one because you never show two pages at a time
 mmmm
 maybe
in our next course we may try that :-D.

 

Thanks for your help,

Marc.

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?
