[Xerte] Re: "Embed Content" Page is blank

Wed Aug 22 16:16:45 BST 2012

I cleared the cache after updating the XMLEngine.swf.

I'm not sure how to tell if a function is being called - I presume I use Firebug, but I'm not sure how I see it.

Again - thanks for all your help today!

However, once you hit a page with embedded content on it, if you go back to other pages the embedded content stays visible! It stays there, hiding everything on any other pages in the LO, until you get to another embed content page.
