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

 

You

Johnathan - question if you don't mind - what's the difference between the
'rs' and 'id' properties? What's the appropriate use of each? Where can I
learn more about these?

 

Thanks

Hello Matteo,

 

Sorry I don't have time to test this solution before suggesting it.

 

Check out the Xerte help files.

 

I don't think that by default an image icon is sensitive to mouse events and
thus will not trigger an onRelease event.

 

However you can add a hotObject icon to an interaction and then add an image
icon as a child of the hotObject. This will allow mouse events to be
detected by the image. I am not sure if the event will be triggered by the
hot object or the image. If it is the hot object icon then you may need to
use the rs property rather than the id property to identify the hotObject
icon when specifying what object sends the event.

 

Kind regards

 

Johnathan

hi
this is my problem:

 

I have a small icon (a jpg image, it is called 'logopdf1') I would click on
and download a simple PDF file (its name is comparative.pdf) :

 

I did it this way:

1) I have an id (logo) associated with image

2) I create an interection

3) I create an event that I called Event1,  icon : logo , eventname:
onRelease

4) I create a script : into the script I wrote:
getURL('media/pdf/comparative.pdf', '_blank');

 

but doesn't work...what code should I write in the script?

 

thank's
