Subject: [Xerte] Re: img in text iconYou can debug(blah) when id=”blah”? The graphic ought to be positioned in its parent’s coordinate space, so text icon is at 100,100, graphic is at 20,20, global cords are 120,120.

If I gave it an id, <src='blah" id="blah"> the id shows up on inspect.
So that can be used.
You repositioned it? I couldn't get that to happen.

But the graphic doesn't seem to be related to the text anyway, so it's position will not reflect a position in the text stream, so no help on positioning a text input.

There must be some way of putting a token or something in there to avoid all sorts of "GetTextExtent" gyrations...

Subject: [Xerte] Re: img in text iconYou can indeed address those graphics, but I have no idea how it figuring out the instance name. I ran it and got instance56, next run I get instance 70, so anticipating instance84 next, I successfully ran some code to re-position it. Those increments might not change in the browser, where the swf only runs once: it’s running many times in preview, and some garbage collection might not be happening between runs. I also couldn’t inspect it: unsure why – might have had its propsFlags set to hide stuff. Inspect is a function that takes an object, and I assume that whatever it is, it is an object… From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Where's it going? How's it handled?

If I do an inspect of icon.txt, I get something I don't recognize from previously:
instance780 : _level0.engine.IFC.PG_MC21.DIS_MC1.txt.instance780

That 780 increments up by 14 each time I run it, but even if I front run it:
inspect(fed.txt.instance794);
inspect(fed.txt.instance808);
inspect(fed.txt.instance822);

I get nothing.

That graphic has to be loaded somewhere?From: Julian.Tenney at nottingham.ac.uk

If I have this is in a text icon:

<img src="bullet.png"/>here is a bullet point

Where is that .png being loaded?
Do I have access to it?

Here's my thought.
I have a series of random gapfills in sentences.
I insert a dummy png the shape of the gapfill into the string as needed.

Fill in the <img src="dummy.png"/> and call it <img src="dummy.png"/>

Then use the position of those dummies to position my actual text inputs.
