Hi Doug, Thanks fo the clarification. Sean. _____
From: Doug Geoffray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 August 2008 13:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Text.NextClip parameters Sean, The documentation does need fixing. The ScreenPoint is optional. However, it auto updates. This means the first time you call a Text object method you should set the Point property first or supply it with the method. This is so you can get a starting point. If you don't, it will default to 0,0. But after that the point auto updates the the unit you just got. So for example, lets say you want to move by clip. All you have to do is first call Text.Clip(startingPoint) where startingPoint is where you want to start. But from then on all you have to do is call Text.NextClip and you'll get the next clip. If you call it again, you'll get the next and so on. This is because the Point property is auto updated with the unit you just got. You can verify this by printing out the Point property x and y values as you call Next or Previous.

If you have a clip, you can get the screen point by doing: ClipObj.Position.ScreenPoint Aaron Aaron Sean Farrow wrote: Hi: If I don't supply a screen point, to the text.nextClip method, will it use the current clip? I am using this in OnChildClipRendered.
