I was casting around for that some weeks ago, I think the closest I got was overriding the onclick function in actionscript. Of course that gets called for *any* click, but crucially the select ones will be in there, and give you a reference to the element selected, from which you can at least get innerhtml or outerhtml properties.
That project went to the bottom of the todo list before I resolved it to my satisfaction, however :( I was looking for some kind of "select" event, really. It may well be there and I just missed it. Perhaps it's worth seeing if there is a mail list or forum for webkit / safari ? I'd imagine the inner workings are close if not identical. (And I've love to know the answer if you find it!) -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of polestar11 Sent: Thu 24/04/2008 16:09 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] AIR HTML component - html tag / text selection Hi there I'm trying to access selected html text from an HTML component in an AIR app. I'm able to get selected text that excludes html tags by calling a JS function: window.getSelection(). This excludes the HTML tags though. I've tried using my HTML component's textSnapshot property this has a charCount of zero. Does anyone have good suggestions on how to get: a) the parent tag or id of a selected piece of text either via AIR or JS b) how to get the raw text of a selection (that includes tags) via AIR or JS Thanks Tracy ______________________________________________________________________ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
