layer_2 a dock

home.focusin is a trigger when you bring the focus to that element. If you want an event to be triggered from a click, you need to use home.activate. so..

	<animateTransform xlink:href="#Layer_2" id="_anim_l1"
		attributeName="transform" type="translate"
		to="0,0" dur="0.01s"   
		fill="freeze"
                begin="home.focusin"	/>

becomes

	<animateTransform xlink:href="#Layer_2" id="_anim_l1"
		attributeName="transform" type="translate"
		to="0,0" dur="0.01s"   
		fill="freeze"
                begin="home.activate"	/>

I am not sure if its neccesary or not as I have always mainted a strict form to my coding however it might be a good idea to keep your naming conventions logical and straight forward. for example :

<g  id="Layer_1">
	<!-- pz:tag type="layer" -->
<g  id="home">
	<!-- pz:tag type="button" -->
<g  id="Rectangle_3_Button-Contents">
	<!-- pz:tag type="layer" -->
<rect id="Rectangle_3"
	style="fill:#00ff02; stroke:#ffffff; stroke-width:1;"
	x="-160" y="155" width="71" height="45"/>
</g>
</g>
</g>

becomes,

<g  id="homeIcon">
	<!-- pz:tag type="layer" -->
<g  id="home">
	<!-- pz:tag type="button" -->
<g  id="home-Contents">
	<!-- pz:tag type="layer" -->
<rect id="Rectangle_3"
	style="fill:#00ff02; stroke:#ffffff; stroke-width:1;"
	x="-160" y="155" width="71" height="45"/>
</g>
</g>
</g>

also, wat are you trying to acheive with this?

<set xlink:href="#home" attributeName="display" to="inline"  begin="home.focusin"/>

It appears you want home to show when you focus in on home??? is that right? if you use display and to="none" you wont be able to focus in on home to show it, so ...i really dont get the idea of using that line of code...

I'm new at hidden doc, so if I want to use escape to hide and scape to show how can I do that? And where do I put the code?

Unfortunately you can`t use the same button/key to have 2 different actions. You can make it look like the same button has 2 different actions but infact it will be 2 different buttons.

The reason for this is essentially SVG code used for blackberry development is not conditional and therefore there is no way to distinguish between 1 state(eg: UP) and 1 state(eg: down)...there is also no way to store variables to define which state you are in....


so to achieve what you are trying to do you will need a key for up and a key for down...escape to hide and $ to show or something along those lines.

Hope this helps...
