[Xerte] Re: Customising the Xerte UI

[Phil Clothier]

Hi Dave, it's probably best if I explain what I'd like to achieve.
Basically, I'd like to change the look of the skin, without really
changing the interface as such. I assume this would just be a new
"skin"?

 

However, I'd also be interested in a much simplified interface which
just had a "back" and "forward" button.  I've got this set up in the
default Xerte skin and removed sections with certain scripts.  Would
this still be possible in a new skin?  Or would I need to create an
entire new template which simply had "back" and "forward"?

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Phil

".. a new flash interface .." 

What exactly would you like to do?
There is a difference between creating a new interface and replacing the
interface.

The main point being if you want to truly *replace* the existing
interface with a swf, it means establishing communication between that
swf and the LO.

If you just want to create a new "skin" to appear in place of the
default interface, that is relatively easy.

Hello everyone, is there any guidance available anywhere on how to
create a new flash interface for Xerte?

 

I've been looking with google for a while for still no luck.

 

Thanks,
