[Xerte] RE: Call script function from HREF anchor?

[Dave Burnett]

OK, for the archives, I think I may have sussed it out.

In a text icon I have:
<a href="asfunction:_level0.engine.help_function,Click">Click</a>

help_function is the name of an isFunc script icon somewhere above the text icon that contains this:
eventObject.word = args[0];
rootIcon.broadcast('showDefinition');

Then I have an event response off an interaction set to icon: rootIcon and eventName: showDefinition

Below that in a script:
debug(eventObject.word);
 
So when you click on the word "Click", it triggers the function and passes the word "Click" as an argument.
The function sets "Click" as the word property of eventObject, then broadcasts the "showDefinition" event, which is picked up by the event response.

Probably just re-invented the wheel, and slightly out of round to boot.

I can't seem to get the syntax for calling a named script icon function from an html link.
