[Xerte] Xerte3: on Mac?

[Julian Tenney]

Can you build it? Then once you've tested it you can send me updated
code...

Hopefully ... 

New project:

MainMenu.as

replace
fileName = mdm.Dialogs.BrowseFile.show();
with
fileName = mdm.Dialogs.BrowseFileToSave.show();

forget about the three lines above.

Also I added a settings.as containing


package org.xerteEditor 
{
	
	import flash.system.Capabilities;
	
	public class Settings
	{	
		static public function get delimiter():String
		{
			var delimiter:String;
			var os:String = Capabilities.os;
			if (os.split(" ")[0] == "Windows") {
				delimiter = '\\';
			} else {
				delimiter = '/';
			}
			return delimiter;
		}
		
	}

}

In every file using paths replace the \\ with 

' + Settings.delimiter + '
