[Xerte] Re: set x values using relative path instead of ID

Give the DIS an ID? Otherwise give the FW_ENT an ID and you can do myFWENT.XMLElement.firstChild.clip()

Or I think there are some getChildByName that will return the XML Node for an icon known by name / ID, so you can do rootIcon.XMLElement.getChildByName();

Otherwise it's really too messy to do the icon.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.previousSibling.firstChild, but you could do.

Happy New Year!
Too much happiness actually, getting a brain lock.


<LO>
  <IFC>
    <FW_ENT>
       <DIS> //set the x value of this display
    <PG>
      <INT>
        <RS button>
           <SCR> //from here, not knowing the ID of the DIS


something like icon._parent._parent.clip()._x etc???

I can't figure it out.
