Just a quick idea but have you considered using a QuickDraw shape (drawn from the tool palette) behind your text display as a highlight mechanism? You could hide the QD sprite (or sprites) off-screen then pop them into place when and where needed based on the location information of the text chunk. This idea has issues, mostly surrounding how many QD sprites you'd need, especially if you allow arbitrary multi-line selection (you'd need two QD sprites to handle a selection that spans two lines, what if the selection spans five lines? or six? or three? or...?). Just a thought in case it helps. Cheers, Tom Higgins Product Specialist - Director Team Macromedia ...
