Rob,
Thanks so much for getting me off the dime. For anybody who cares here is
the fix:
The stage's hyperlink handler has to specifically address the stage text
sprite like this-
tell the stage -- even though we are on the stage
tell sprite(me.spriteNum)
tWord = pSprite.pointToWord(the mouseLoc)
tLink = pSprite.member.word[ tWord ].hyperlink
-- more code here
end tell
end tell
The LDM's hyperlink handler has to specifically address the LDM sprite like
this-
global g_LDMSprite
tell the stage
tell sprite(g_LDMSprite)
tWord = pSprite.pointToWord(the mouseLoc)
tLink = pSprite.member.word[ tWord ].hyperlink
-- more code here
end tell
end tell
The above code concept fixes the bleed through and all the hyperlinks now
show the correct cursor.
Many thanks!
GSB

Hey Geoff,
A couple things. First if you set a cursor in an LDM is actually does
change it but as soon as the mouse moves the stage takes over and sets the
cursor to its preferred setting. So most of the time you will not see the
change or see it as a quick flash. The way around this is to target the
stage with all your cursor changes. Which version of director are you
using? If pre-MX04 then use
tell the stage to cursor 280
in MX04
_player.activeWindow.movie.cursor(280)
As far as the hypertext bleeding stuff can you post some sample files
someplace. If you do I'll have quick look and see if I can come up with a
work-around.
later,
Rob
