[Xerte] Re: download file pdf

[Kemp Johnathan]

The ID is used as the unique identifier of an icon, so once you set the
icon property of an icon you can refer directly to it by using its ID. That
is except for icons that are normally the children of an interaction icon
i.e. the sort of icons you see listed when you right click on an
interaction icon in desktop Xerte e.g. button, hotspot etc. These use the
rs property to identify themselves and not the id property.

Julian will know the why's and wherefore's of this.

You can read about it in the "interactions overview" section of the Xerte
help file.

Kind regards

Johnathan
