Here's a little quickie script that might help. Notice I'm using selection
in two different ways. Details are in the docs. There's not much in the way
of error trapping & I haven't tested it much at all, but see if it inspires
anything.
on mouseUp
tell the stage
theSel = castLib(1).selection
-- returns the 1st member selected in the cast. Theoretically there
-- should be only one if the text editor window is open.
theMem = member(theSel[1][1],1)
if theMem.type = #text then
put theMem.name
put theMem.selection
put theMem.char[theMem.selection[1]+1..theMem.selection[2]].fontStyle
end if
end tell
end
This was attached to a button in the MIAW itself. I just copied the movie
into Director's Xtras folder to place it into the Xtras menu (next time
Director is started up). When you choose Xtras-> and select this movie's
name, it should show up as a MIAW for you.
