[Xerte] Editing tips?

[Dave Burnett]

AFA sequencing goes, what is the approach if you have a panel, let's say glossary, that you want to have appear on top in all instances?

I have added it in the top level FW entry pane, but when called it appears to be underneath content displayed in the pages attached to the nested FW.
I'm guessing that since it was instantiated prior to the nested framework, it is "lower" than subsequent icons.

Is there a best practice to force it to screen level?

If you SHIFT-F5 or CTRL-SHIFT-F5 the currently selected icon in
the tree is set up for visual editing – i.e. you can position / resize it with
the mouse. In this mode, you can then select all other icons and move them with
the mouse as well.

 

That mode only kicks in once the selected icon is reached on the
stage – because if it was behind a button, you’d never be able to get to it
otherwise, as clicking the button would select it for editing, rather than fire
it’s response.

Hi
all,



Has anyone gigged up a cheat sheet or is there a resource for editing
practices?



I'm probably doing something backwards, or since some things don't seem to work
as they say on the can it may be something in my setup.

e.g. doubleclicking a draw icon on the tree does not open the draw editor.

If I highlight an icon below an interaction in the tree and hit Shift/Cntrl/F5
it loads and comes to rest at an icon above that interaction.

How does sequence/layering work? I am having difficulty reaching icons that
appear to be "under" another icon on the display.



Cheers,



Dave
