[Xerte] Controlling Nav buttons

[Dave Burnett]

Is there a trick I'm missing to pass the curr fw id variable  into statements:

cur_fw_id = icon.parentNode.parentNode.attributes.id;
debug(cur_fw_id); //shoes correct id
cur_fw_id.prevPage(); //does nothing

If I put the actual value in:
165777.prevPage(); //works fine

You can use duplicates as longa s they aren’t on the stage
together, so in different apges, yes you can.

 

Here’s what I like to do:

 

Add the back and next buttons in the main entry frame. In the
scripts do

 

currentFW.nextPage() and currentFW.prevPage()

 

As you pass into various sub FWs, in their entry frames do
currentFW = whatever this FW is;

 

Then you have one set of controls that can navigate lots of FWs.

Thanks
Julian, I'll check out that handler for the implications.

If I give multiple RES items the same rs, does that set up a conflict, or will
they all be affected the same?

In an onOpenPage event
handler?

 

Or even in the button
scripts…

Now I have a handle on global navigation, on to local navigation.



I can see a few ways to do this, but is there a best practice for
hiding/showing Next and Previous buttons in a classic page turner setup?



Giving the buttons in question an rs value and using the Visible property looks
like the way to go, but where's the best place for the controlling code?



Cheers,



Dave
