[Xerte] displaying variable info in text icon

[Julian Tenney]

Using the braces works, no doubt about it. What happens when you try?
Build a simple sample and give it a try: I cannot think of a situation
where / how this wouldn't work.

Subject: [Xerte] displaying variable info in text icon

 

>From Paul's posting today:

 

 

{'Page ' + (frameworkID.currentPage + 1) + ' of ' +
(frameworkID.pageCount)}

 

This should display these variables if pasted into a text icon, correct?

 

It doesn't for me. I've spent many hours trying get {} to display
variable information, I'm wondering if there is some special setting
somewhere in xerte that controls this. Occasionally (maybe 1% of the
time, in a new file) I can get a display, but it's extremely unreliable.
I'm sure it shouldn't be this difficult.

 

I'm trying to build a FW navigation structure but its very hard to do
without being able to see variable information:

 

If FWICON.currentPage < FWICON.pages.length then

Go to next

Else

Go to Main Menu

 

 

What am I doing wrong?
