Oops! make that:

debug(textSnap.getSelected(0, textSnap.getCount()));

Try:

 

debug(textSnap.getText(0, textSnap.getCount()));  

 

Works?

 

See http://flash-reference.icod.de/TextSnapshot.html#getSelected()

I found an AS2 object, but can't quite get the info out of it.

textSnap = i65569.getTextSnapshot();
debug(textSnap);
debug(textSnap[0]);

Both the debugs give me [object Object]

Generic failure or my syntax is lacking?

Cheers,
Dave

I found something called getCharIndexAtPoint(), but I think it is AS3.
I can retrieve the mousex,y and the text obviously, but can't see a way
to correlate the two.

Or am I missing the easy way?
