[Xerte] JumpFile question

[Julian Tenney]

Most likely need to wrap the calls to create and oad the css.

Can you create a function in the engine:

function loadMyNewCSS(url){
 engine.css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
 engine.css.load(url);
}

And then call that from Xerte script?

No joy.

If I insert the property via interface:

debug(_level0.engine.STYLES.styleSheet);

gives me the correct path to the .css

If I delete that prop and try to load it the same debug is undefined.

Tried a few variations, but no luck.
