[Xerte] RE: Glossary type thing, get the word that was clicked on in string.

[Dave Burnett]

Undefined in both cases.
I had tried a few variations on that previously.

even just textSnap.getCount() returns undefined, so I'm not accessing the object correctly (or it's not there, or it's empty, or...)
:-/

Thnx,

Dave

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?
