[Xerte] Re: Can I use methods to modify an image inserted using rootIcon.loadIcon( )? Xerte Desktop 2.17

[Paul Swanson]

Thanks, Dave.
 
I was using inspect(rootIcon), but missed that entry. I wasn't looking
that far down the list. ;o)
 
However, I still haven't been successful in moving the icon. I've tried:
 
_level0.engine.IFC.logo._x=10;
_level0.engine.IFC.logo._y=10;
 
and 
 
_level0.engine.IFC.logo.move(10,10);
 
... but no success. And no drop shadow with:
 
_level0.engine.IFC.logo.dropShadow(4, 135, 0x000000, 80);

If I use 
rootIcon.loadIcon(FileLocation + 'media/luca.jpg');
 
then 
inspect(rootIcon) 
 
gives me
logo : _level0.engine.IFC.logo 
 
 
If I don't loadIcon, no logo property.
So they are connected, just not sure where to go from there.

I've loaded a small graphic using rootIcon.loadIcon(), but it sits a bit
too high and too far to the right. Can I use the move() method to change
its position and add a drop shadow with dropShadow()? Is there an
internal reference to this object? I've tried creating my own by both:
 
customLogo = rootIcon.loadIcon(FileLocation + 'media/myLogo.png');
 
and:
 
rootIcon.loadIcon(FileLocation + 'media/myLogo.png').id = "customLogo"; 
 
followed by:
 
customLogo.move(10,10);
customLogo.dropShadow(4, 135, 0x000000, 80);
 
The logo appears, but its position is unchanged and no drop shadow has
been applied. Do I have to modify the graphic in an image processing
program? No big deal, but easier to just move it around in Xerte since I
can see it in relation to the interface (using the default interface).
