OK, serious brain-fade this morning. I'm looking to do some text
highlighting that should be very simple, but I just can't think it
through today.
Director 8, text member ('cause the client wants nice looking
anti-aliased text).
All I want to do is to allow the ability to click and drag over a
text member and hilight the selected text. This is intended to work
exactly the same way as highlighting a section of text in a browser
window. Eventually I will add a "copy" function on this text (that's
easy). But I can't figure out how to highlight the selected portion
of the text.
If this were a field member, I just set it to editable, and the
functionality is built in. Then I can get the selStart and the
selEnd. But if I just create an editable text member, put some text
into it, put it on the stage, run the program, and click and drag the
mouse to make a selection, nothing happens. So, how do I
continuously highlight the text selection as the user drags the mouse?
Thanks,
Irv
