Twisties (and ShowHideAll) methods supported in AIR output?

[Guest]

Just wondering...

Does anyone know of a way to produce working twisties-with-ShowHideAll controls that work in AIR applications produced from Robo 8?

Peter Grainge's web site (http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/twisty/twisty.htm) provides excellent information about implementing a variety of twisty methods for webhelp output that displays well in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome.

Currrently we use the "twisties with a one-button ShowHideAll" implentation that works great in Webhelp format. Unfortunately, this method uses the "original" twisty method with a single-button ShowHide script - neither of which currently works in AIR output.

There is another twisty method (TS Paul's) that works fine in AIR, but cannot be combined with ShowHideAll button functionality.

RoboHTML 8 does provide a fairly crude, built-in method for implementing twisties that is supported through the default RH webhelp Javascript file: ehlpdhtm.js. However, this method only supports a single twisty implementation per help project, and it doesn't support any ShowHideAll controls.

Does anyone know a way around this limitation, that would allow including Twisties-with-ShowHideAll functionality in RoboHTML so that it is viewable in AIR format?

See the "Show / Hide without Twisties - One button" method described on page 9, here: http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/twisty/Twisties1.pdf.

I first implemented this method for CHM help in RoboHelp x5. We've since upgraded to RoboHelp 9, and I've verified that it works in both AIR browser based help and AIR application help (as well as CHM help).
