[Xerte] Xerte3: dispatchSynchEvents does not work

I needed to change some of my layouts, but now it works well. The problem with my original layout was:
Play/Pause/Controller are displayed in the upper left of the video. When I click on the play button the icon changes to the pause button, but the video did not play. Also the timeslider shortly jumps on top of the play button, jumps back right to the stop button, but does not move any more. If I try to drag it it jumps back over the play button and tells 2.00 in the tooltip?!
I wasn't able to reproduce the problem in my test file. I have mainly this structure:
Canvas
--> Viewstack
---> Canvas
------> Canvas
-------->TextContent
------> VBox
--------> Button
--------> Video
----------> Selectorbox
----------> Listeners
So you don't need to worry about that. I can manage to work with the solution!! Thank you! Also the synch event now works!
Any news regarding the stylesheet issue? Does it work for you? (this issue is more or less the last task on my list before I want to release my first Xerte3 e-learning module)
