[Xerte] Re: Xerte Wizard not Displaying in Google Chrome/Moodle

[Julian Tenney]

Keep dabbling, share your problems here...

The main thing to remember is that Xerte is a flash movie. That's all. If you load another Flash movie into that flash movie, then the usual issues of loading swfs apply. Often a  good tactic is to take Xerte out of the picture and simply try loading the swf into another swf and trying to replicate the setup (in this case trying to load a sound from the library of the loaded swf) as simply as possible and replicate the problem.

After testing I have discovered that it was a piece of code in an SWF that was upsetting Xerte/Google Chrome.  A different SWF with this code in it refused to play the sound at all in any browser.  So I would love any expert's opinions as to why the following code might have upset things?

red_orange = new Sound();
            red_orange.attachSound("red_orange");
            speaker_plain_btn.onRelease = function() {
                        red_orange.start(0,1);
            }
            speaker_plain_btn.onRollOver = function () {
                        red_orange.start (0,1) ;}

Any other tips on making SWF's that are less likely to crash in Xerte would be gratefully received as apart from this I spent some hours yesterday re-constructing another SWF which refused to display in Xerte but worked outside.

I'm new to AS2 and beginning to wonder if I should stop dabbling.

Thanks very much.
