Hey, folks!

I wasn't sure if this was the appropriate forum to ask a question about a widget; I'm seeking some technical assistance with it, so I thought it was more appropriate to post this question here rather than in the "Widget" forum.

I am using the Advanced Tab widget to simulate tabs in a MMF2 Internet Stand-Alone Java Application project. I have a front-page bulleted-style menu where the user selects an option, and I want the appropriate tab in the Advanced Tab widget to display in a new frame. So, for example, if the end user were to click the second option on the front-page frame, then they would see the second tab selected in a different frame.

I have had no difficulties setting up the Advanced Tab widget for usage on the same frame. However, I can't seem to get the widget to automatically select the appropriate tab on a different frame. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out.

I can't seem to upload the file to MFA Repository right now, so I'll try to briefly describe how I've set this project up:

1.) There is a Global Variable which specifies which tab is to be selected, and this Global Variable is specified before jumping to the new frame.

2.) At the Start of Frame at the new frame, if the Global Variable is a specific number (such as 2), then the second tab is to be automatically selected. In that event, I have set the Flag for that tab to be 1, and all other tabs for Flag 1 to 0. Furthermore, I have set the direction of the appropriate tab to point to the image which represents the tab as being selected, and all other tabs pointing to the direction as being default.


Yet, when I test it, always the first tab is selected.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you very much in advance!



Most appreciatively...
