Snippets within drop down text

Post by rmctavish »

I am creating an FAQ page for our help, and I need to be able to contain snippets within a text drop down.

When I highlight the text and the two snippets together, I can create the text drop down hotspot, but the drop-down body is blank.

Is there a way to do this - or this not allowed in Flare?

Apparently the 20th try is the charm - it is now working just as I want it to with no problems. Odd.

I have plenty of drop downs that include snippets, but I sometimes had problems with formatting etc in drop downs.

Now, I always create all the content (typed, imported, snippets and whatever else) before selecting an area as a drop down, and I don't have any problems.

Similarly, if I'm doing anything more than the most trivial edit to a drop down section, I unbind it, edit it and then reconvert it do drop down.
