[Xerte] xerte's main window vertical scroll

[Julian Tenney]

Not directly no. I think what I mant to say was 'yes, that is a good way of doing it'!

But there is no way to resize the div once the default interface is loaded, right? Or did you already got a function to do that on Xerte that we could have used?.

 

Thanks for the feedback,

Marc.

That's very similar to the way the div's size is changed when you choose a new size in the default interface. It's a good way of adding your own methods to the interface - of course you could add the method to any MovieClip in the hierarchy. It's good that as the engine is updated and released here, your solution won't break.

Hi again, we solved this, so i will share with you how did we accomplished it.

 

 

1)Modify the html that xerte uses to create the SCORM course (Xerte\publish\html\ rloObject.html)

a.       Add this javascript code:

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function newSize(altura) {

               

    var nombre = "plantilla"; //here it is our template's name

               

               if(document.all && !document.getElementById) {

                               document.all['rlo' + nombre].style.pixelHeight = altura;

               }else{

                               document.getElementById('rlo' + nombre).style.height = altura + 'px';

                               

               }

}

</script>

b.      We will call this function in order to modify the xerte's main window div's height

2)      Add an actionscript function in our custom interface's flash file

function resize(h:Number) {

       getURL("javascript:newSize(" + h + ")");

}

 

3)      Now we are able to add scroll in any of our xerte pages by calling  "interface.clip.resize(whateverHeightYouWant);" 

4)      PLEASE NOTE: This will only work with the scorm compiled course, because we need to execute it in a browser in order to use javascript

 

Hope this helps someone in the future. This solution it's been implemented by my colleague Moisés Artacho.

Please feel free to ask questions

 

I think you have to do it yourself - although 

 

Usage

Set using the properties panel. Optional.

 

Description

Determines whether the textfield has a scrollbar or not. Set the value to 1 to display a scrollbar. Set the value to 'auto' to have a scrollbar appear as required.

 

Notes

You must set the h property in the proeprties panel to the required height of the textfield.

 

Says the help file re textfields.

Hi all again,

First of all, i want to be sure is ok that i write down my questions to this list, I don't wanna annoy you if it has other purposes.

 

And the question is: is there any parameter I can set on xerte to have an automatic vertical scroll when a template's content exceeds the window's height size? Or do I have to add a "scroll pane" on the template itself?

 

Thank you very much,

Marc
