Yeah, I think on Mac or Linux a Char(13) CR/CarriageReturn will suffice.
DOS I believe needs them both: CR/LF, Char(10) LineFeed 
Char(13)^Char(10)

Thanks Dave - no the point of this was for the user to be able
to paste into a word document or notepad. I couldn’t get <br> or \r
\n to work but var1 + chr(13) + chr(10) + var 2 did the trick. Works when
pasting into word or notepad and the main point was to separate the 3 elements
of the page in the pasted result.

This is a tweak of the existing stimulating question page type
in the xerte online toolkit template – you can see how it works here: http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/compareAnswer/

Thanks all for the help

Cheers

Ron

In an ASCII sense, yes that will work.

But I don't believe that will render as a <BR> within an HTML
interpreter, if that's what the ultimate goal is.

Ok scrub that – works with chr(13)

Hi Julian

Sorry this is probably book 1 day 1 and I’m searching as
we speak but I’m struggling for time. L Now that this bit works I
was trying to do System.setClipboard(myVariable1 + “<br>” +
myVariable2); which works in terms of pasting both vars but doesn’t
include the break when I paste. Do I need to use char codes or something
instead and if so what do I use to add carriage returns?

Cheers

Ron

Hi Julian

I revisited this template I
was working on back in June and got the tracking working fine thanks. In doing
so I seem to remember you have something built-in to one or more of the
controllers to copy sync points to the clipboard so I wondered if there is a
way I can include a button in a page which when clicked copies some variable
text to the clipboard?

Cheers

Thanks Julian very helpful as
always.

I’ll give the array
suggestion a try at some point.

I guess I was really asking
if all this already existed eg. a print button and/or a function in some of the
existing php code to call and pass the text info which pops up a link to open
or save the file a bit like what happens now with export creating a zip -
 although I know that’s not called from an LO.

Likewise we’re able to
add carriage returns using the editor so thought it might be possible when
playing the piece too. Again I’ll have a look at some point.

Cheers

1.       I’d
initialise an array called tracking:

If (tracking == undefined)

{ 

  Tracking = new
Array();

}

And then use the current page
index to refernece the data slot: tracking[rootIcon.currentPage] =
‘myInputText’;

2.       A)
no. But you can do a custom print job. Read up in the Flash referene for the
PrintJob class I think.

B) How will you save the txt
file? Getting the text is easy, making a button is easy, then pass the text
thorough to a php file that saves the file?

3.       Dunno.
What does the Flash help say on .multiline?

Hi Julian/all

I was asked by a colleague about the
stimulating question template and if there was a version where the user could
type a response and then hit the button to see a pre-prepared exemplar answer.
So very similar to the existing template except with an input textbox. I
thought I’m sure I could quickly tweak/build that and so did, although I
struggled to work out how to use the rs property of the textbox at first. I
also wanted the textbox to retain whatever was entered when the user browses
past and then back to that page which was fine I got that to work too. You can
see an example at: http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/compareAnswer
However the reason for this message...

1.      
I then
realised that the way I coded this if another page based on the template is
added to the same LO the answer entered/stored in the first example is also
displayed in the second example. However I can’t work out how to make the
rs property name dynamic and so to store and display different text in however
many pages of this type are added?

2.      
Also
are there existing functions I could use to: 

a) have a print button on the page rather than use the browser print menu

b) have a save this response button – which creates a text file
containing the input text and example answer?

I’m sure these options could be useful in lots of ways.

3.       I vaguely recall
this has been asked before – is there a way to enable carriage returns in
the input text box?

Cheers

Ron
