Hi
Try setting the rect of the member and not the sprite for text members.. me
thinks me remember something along that line but I'm too tired to test the
theory.
Sincerely
Mark R. Jonkman

Subject: <lingo-l> ARGH - text sprite rect weirdness...
This is the first time I've run into this problem changing the filename of a
text member to an external .html file and the sprite resizes itself (could
be that there's some tables in the html) -- no matter what I try to do to
resize that sprite to the rect I want, it does nothing -- unless I'm missing
something. Yet, pulling the sprite to the right shape is fine...so what's
the deal? Some idiocy I'm missing?
sprite(6).member.filename=gScrHtmlStub & gDepositoriesIndex[2].factual_table
sprite(6).rect = rect(24, 311, 728, 543)
updatestage
put sprite(6).rect
-- rect(24, 311, 540, 876)
put sprite(6).member.type
-- #text
sprite(6).width = 704
updatestage
sprite(6).rect[3] = 728
updatestage
put sprite(6).rect
-- rect(24, 311, 540, 876)
put sprite(6).rect
-- rect(24, 311, 728, 543)
put sprite(6).left
-- 24
put sprite(6).right
-- 540
set sprite(6).right = 728
sprite(6).right = 728
updatestage
put sprite(6).rect
-- rect(24, 311, 540, 876)
