I'm producing a large multimedia, with many screens.

The client will need to view various versions of it to approve the images and text.

For us both, it would be easiest if the page name I'd given to any page was displayed on the screen, so we both refer to the same page.

So can I create a variable of the page name?

Or is there another way?

Thanks, Linda

Create a text box on the page and add a constant expression with the following:

this.GetParent().GetName()

Doesn't work in Flex.

EDIT: Apologies, does work in flex just not that way.

To use this in Flex, create the text box as above, but add a new variable called myName. Make the variable dynamic.

then add a script object and add the line myName = this.GetName()

Thank you for remembering I'm working in Flex!

Do I need to add the script object onto every page?

Thanks, Linda

The template that is used by every page will be easier.

Mack

Of course - apologies for my stupidity

Linda

OK - in the template I've got the script, and the dynamic text.

The text is not hidden.

When I preview it, it works perfectly.

When I publish it to flex, the text does not appear until something on the page changes (I rollover a button, or text animates on, for instance).

So it's like the page needs to be refreshed before the text is seen.

How can I get round this?

Thanks, Linda

Don't think that way. Opus preview IS NOT for flex.

I've attached a working example.

Mack

OK - I'm sure I've got it right - and I can see your example works - but if I put your example into my pub,it stops working.

The only difference is that mine is a scorm flex.

So I'm just sending you my file by yousendit.

Please take a look when you've got time and tell me what it is I'm doing wrong.

Summary of problem:

On published version, the pagename doesn't appear until something else changes on the page (a rollover, or text move for instance)

Thanks, Linda

Linda --

On a Master Page, I put a Text Object with the OPUS System Variable <PageName>. Then every Page shows the name I have created in the Organizer.
