Working in AS2. Since the TextSnapshot class is limited to static text,
I don't think there's any way to do this, but I hope I'm wrong.
I need to be able to take an arbitrary string of text, for example:
You can see more Info or Proceed to the Next Page.
And then render this out so that there is a button around "Info" and
another around "Proceed to the Next Page". If this were static text
then I could use the TextSnapshot class to determine exactly there these
phrases started and stopped and then put buttons around them.
The only technique I've ever found in AS2 to determine where dynamic
characters start and end is to run iterations where the width of a text
field is shortened until the text wraps, at which point you
theoretically get horizontal position of the last character of the
field. However, I've found the results to be very inconsistent.
Thanks for any input!
Andrew
