[Xerte] Navigation blues

Had tried that one, but the results were a bit unexpected.
rootIcon.navigate('main_menu_target');

The target is page 2 of a framework.
During the navigation, some of the content in page 1 (a sound) is executed .
And upon the second use of that navigation, the perpetual buttons in the target FW_ENT disappear.

Maybe I need to start with a clean sheet.
My head is starting to hurt. :-)

Have you tried navigate(iconID); I think it might be
rootIcon.navigate(id);?

That will do the anywhere to anywhere thing,

Yes, I am replacing the C&R with navigate to FW B, and from FW B navigate
back to FW A.

But while a call to navigate to FW A will function correctly from some places
in the structure but not others is what I can't figure out.

Since I came from A, I am assuming the structure has been created.

Or when you say "it dumps all it's content", do you mean it dumps the
FW pointer and everything?

Conceptually my take was it was holding the xml structure in memory (since you
can address it, correct?), so I thought a navigation to a previously parsed bit
of XML was just saying "jump back to this point in the XML and reparse
it".

There isn’t a direct
replacement for call and return.

You can do subroutines using
an custom event, and then navigate back to where you where by leaving a length
of string behind you…

Doh!

I'm still gapping on the stepping nature of the engine.

I need an AW lobotomy.

I also realized that due to that nature anything that was previously Call and
Return is going to necessitate some structural changes.

At that point FW3 does not
exist. You are in FW1 on PG1. You can call FW1.gotoPage(1) which will take you
where you want to go…?

FW3.gotoPage(0) doesn't seem to do it.

It works for me in the 2.6
desktop version. Note that the pages array from which the page number comes
from is zero-based, so myFrameworkId.gotoPage(4) will actually take you to the
5th page on the framework.

Found this in the archives:

"..but you could navigate to any page on any framework by using
myFrameworkId.gotoPage(pageNumber)."

Is it true?

It doesn't seem to want to work that way for me.
