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

undefined.

I'm an OOP idiot.
What am I thinking wrong here?

//retrieve an object with the text contents of the text mc i65569 
textSnap = i65569.getTextSnapshot();

//look at the functions available to me to retrieve specific data
inspect(textSnap);

//use one of the functions to get a value
debug(textSnap.getCount());


Returns undefined.
So textSnap has no values in it.
??

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?
