[Xerte] Re: xerte XOT HTML5 - graphical menu, connector pages

[Julian Tenney]

You do it using media -> flash movie, and set an init object, then load an .html file instead of a swf (the init object is what trips the code to display this rather than the swf, so you need to sety one, even if just a dummy - it also allows you to pass json into the html page for you to use in the content):

Then you get your custom content loaded up:

So here come my (inevitable) dumb questions.... What specifically would I use to build a custom menu? JS? And...how would I 'insert' it to XOT?

I was planning to use the desktop xerte so I become reasonably used to working with it and inserting what I needed, but since it seems to be sidelined, I need to be sure I can 'insert' a menu, custom pages, and some code to read/write to a proprietary dbase in HTML5 XOT. Does that all look doable? I'm willing to put in the effort unless I'm really swimming against the current here.

A custom menu page and some global js to handle the page and state information.
Something to sense when the page is a section end and on the next "Next Page", set some state info and then redirect back to page 1/menu.
The state info can be used to hide /reveal checkmarks or what have you.
