Or what about just using pointToLine?

Try the following, or some snippet or re-working of it, attached to your #text sprite:

property spriteNum
property my
property myMember

on beginSprite me
  my = sprite(spriteNum)
  myMember = my.member
end

on mouseUp me
  if ( myMember.text = EMPTY ) then exit
  tLoc = _mouse.mouseLoc - my.loc
  tPos = myMember.locVToLinePos(tLoc[2])
  nChars = 0
  repeat with l = 1 to tPos
    nChars = nChars + myMember.line[l].char.count
    -- account for RETURN at line end
    if l < tPos then nChars = nChars + 1
  end repeat
  
  if tLoc[2] < myMember.charPosToLoc(nChars)[2] then
    tClickedLine = tPos + myMember.scrollTop/myMember.fixedLineSpace
  end if
  
  PUT tPos, tClickedLine
end

Then how can I select theMouseLine in a text member? So I can use the content of the mouseline as a var.

I have an old Behavior to hilite and select the mouseLine, but it only works on "Field" members.

Any way to do this in a text member?

Thanks

You can't import formatted text into a #field - that's not the way the field member type works, it doesn't support any formatting. Please explain why you say:

and It has to be a field … when the RTF is imported

Hi Sean, It's been a while.

Yes, now I have the scroll, BUT...

Look at this:

My member is a field... and It has to be a field and when the RTF is imported, it becomes a text member. I tried THIS, but it doesn't work.

member("MyTEXT").importFileInto(_movie.path & "mytext.rtf")

member("MyTEXT").boxType = #scroll

member("MyTEXT").type = #field

It there any way to solve this?

Thanks

member("MyTEXT").boxType = #scroll

Hi,

I have this script which works OK but...

member("MyTEXT").importFileInto("mytext.rtf")

It preserves the RTF word format, but the scrolling disappears.

Is there any solution to this? I want to have a external RTF file that when imported into a text member with scrolling, it preserves its formatting

without messing up the text member.

Thanks
