    Twisties (and ShowHideAll) methods supported in AIR output?

    MichaelHeff Community Member

      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?
