If the text is non scrollign with fixed dimentions, as with a
bitmap
picture text, or maybe a text member with prerender bitmap
option, you
could just overlay a rect sprite in the stage with an ink
effect like
lightest assigned the rect, so the rect color only shows in
place of
black lettering. fields that rely on fonts installed on end
user system
will tend to have text positions shift ssytem to system.
There is a lingo command to change the color of a range of
text, I don't
recall the exact form, something like:
member("textDisplay").char[100,120].fontColor = somecolor
It's possible to change the hyperlink list of a text member
on the fly,
though changing the link color is tough.
Or how do I get the word to turn to a blue hyperlink when it is read. Remember it is in a paragraph.
