Hi everyone.
I've been preparing desktop xerte models to use in projects where a
group of us will need to produce large amounts of content in short
amounts of time. I want to make & save a model of a button
interaction where the button is a toggle to display/hide a panel
containing text and sometimes a graphic. Very simple.
Since a button's mission seems to be to display a response when
clicked, I've been struggling to get it to act as a toggle and hide
the response when clicked again. If I put a script on the button to
always reverse the visibility of its child icons, I can't seem to get
it to overcome its desire to make them visible.
If the panel/text/graphic are siblings of the interaction icon which
contains the button rather than its children, the toggle works
perfectly, but then we lose the ability to save the interaction icon
as a tidy model with everything needed contained inside.
Is there a way to disable or replace a button's default behavior
regarding it's children?
Thanks so much!
