Becase, I think, the drawFW() is called when the stylesheet loads.

So if you have hidden it, I think drawFW() puts it back again.

So you need to hide it again.

So you need to know when the stylesheet has loaded...

So you can hide it after you hid it after it got redisplayed.

Time will pass between your code hiding it and the stylesheet loading and redisplaying it.

I think.

I tried every permutation

I can listen to the event, but you have to agree, it makes things more complicated, and that's fine if needed, but I don't understand why it would be needed.

What if you hideNext() after the stylesheet has loaded?

I can get rootIcon to broadcast 'onStylesLoaded' for you to listen for?

Yes, I thought that should work, but it doesn't.... until I remove loadStyleSheet(..)....

Yes...! That works great! Thank you.

Now... the only thing I need is the .fla, because for this case I need to be able to disabe the contButton, and somehow

rootIcon.contButton._visible = false; is not working.

I'll check first whether I made a mistake somewhere in the script.

Try the attached.

loadStyleSheet(yourCSSfile)

//code for reference

INTERFACE.prototype.loadStyleSheet = function(css){

     engine.css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
     engine.css.load(expression(css, engine));
     engine.css.rootIcon = this; //so we know what to referesh later.

     engine.css.onLoad = function(){
           //add any styles from the LOs stylesheet
           var temp = this.css.getStyle('colourScheme');
           for (var i in temp){
                debug(i);
                STYLES[i] = temp[i];

                //refresh the page
                this.rootIcon.closePage();
                intID = setInterval(this.rootIcon, 'refreshPage', 50);

           }
     }

Thank you Julian,

Of course I will gladly test it... :-)

Now I also undestand what's happening. I was wondering where the stylesheet was supposed to end up in the STYLES object, now I understand.
I suppose that after the test is succesfull, you'll make the .fla available through svn.

Ah, I see what you mean now.

When you load a stylesheet into TextField.stylesheet (note the class property), all text fields take on the new styles when the sheet loads. There's no need to handle the onLoad - the new styles are set automatically.

So, the reason we had an issue yesterday is because if there is a stylesheet attached to a LO, I just let it load. I didn't handle onLoad, as there was no need to: once the sheet had loaded the new styles would be set for all text fields.

That's OK, UNLESS you want to use some of those styles in the theme. Those styles are not set when TextField.stylesheet loads, as TextField knows nothing of Xerte.

So, what I did was make sure that if a stylesheet and / or templateData were being loaded, to make sure both had loaded before parsing the rlo file.

Then, in the parse, I do this to get the styles:

                                var temp = this.css.getStyle('colourScheme');
                                for (var i in temp){
                                                debug(i);
                                                STYLES[i] = temp[i];
                                }

This sets the style values on Xerte's internal STYLES object.

If you load a new stylesheet at runtime, you will also have to run that code once the sheet has loaded.

I think you will need some help in the engine, because that's going to be a PITA otherwise.

I will write a 'loadStylesheet' function for you in the engine, that will set the styles and refresh the current page. Maybe you can test it for me?

Thanks Julian,

Are the changes in svn? I've got the following problem:

1. It works in your example
2. It works also in a XOT or the Page Tempates when I specify a fixed file name for the stylesheet
3. It doesn't work if I try to set the stylesheet in the template wizerd, i.e. I add a combobox to the .xwd.

I am pretty sure that the style sheet is read before the xml templat data is loaded, but I can't find where this happens.

It works now: sorry, there were some timing issues with parsing the rlo file and loading up the styles info.

The Page Templates use a stylesheet calle styles.css (in the common folder).



Some commented text in that file suggests that you can influence the

colours of the titlebar, statusbar, etc. Is that working, and if so how.

Whatever I try, I cannot get it to do anything...



Regards,



Tom
