Hi
I'm pretty sure that the mouseLine only works with fields. Assuming that
you are setting the html of a text member, then you will need to work out
different ways of getting the table cell that was clicked.
Heres some code I've used to get the text of a cell - hopefully it might be
of some use
property mySprite, myMember, myColNum
on beginSprite me
mySprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
myMember = mySprite.member
myColNum = 4 -- how many columns in the html table
end
on mouseUp me
-- work out which line was clicked
clickedLine = pointToLine(mySprite, the mouseLoc)
-- work out which item (in the whole table)
the itemDelimiter = TAB
clickedItem = pointToItem(mySprite, the mouseLoc)
-- calculate the item in the clicked line
previousItems = (clickedLine-1)*(myColNum-1)
LineItem = clickedItem - previousItems + (myColNum-1)
-- get the text that was selected
userSelection = myMember.text.line[clickedLine].item[LineItem]
-- do something with the selected text
-- call(#mHandleSelection, myManagerObject, userSelection)
put userSelection
end
