Hi Andrew!
I remember implementing the same thing once for a CD. It was in D 8.5
though. I'll check and send u a sample soon.
Very broadly, I remember creating a property list of the hyperlink data on
prepareframe. On mousemove and on mouseup I retrived the number of the char
over which the mouse is (pointToChar)and parsed through the property list to
get the hyperlink.
As for (b), I wrote a behaviour which is something like this:
global gLinkList
property pSpriteNum, pPrevState, pCurrentState
on beginsprite me
pSpriteNum = me.spritenum
pPrevState = "NF"
pCurrentState = "NF"
end
on exitframe
pPrevState = pCurrentState
mousePoint = the mouseLoc
currentMember = sprite(pSpriteNum).member
charNum = sprite(pSpriteNum).pointToChar(mousePoint)
repeat with lintCtr = 1 to gLinkList.count
init = getaProp(gLinkList[lintCtr],#init)
term = getaProp(gLinkList[lintCtr],#term)
if ((charnum>=init) and (charnum<=term)) then
pCurrentState = "F"
exit repeat
else
pCurrentState = "NF"
end if
end repeat
if (pPrevState = pCurrentState) then
nothing
else
if (pCurrentState = "NF") then
sprite(pSpriteNum).cursor=0
else
sprite(pSpriteNum).cursor=[member("cstBmpHand"),member("cstBmpHandMask")]
end if
end if
end
You will need to keep track of the previous state. Otherwise the cursor will
keep changing between the hand cursor and normal one. The result was quite
satisfactory.
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Ravi
