Thanks, Al! Unfortunately, it seems that the selEnd and the selStart work
only in field, not in editable text members, and I cannot use a field for
other reasons.
If there is there a way to find out where the insertion point is in an
editable text field, please let me know.
I've also been trying, in vain, to prevent my eidtable text box from being
highlighted on entering the frame. This:
on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.selection = [0, 0]
end
seems to remove the highlight for a split second when the frame is
displayed, but then the entire text gewts highlighted, I don't know why.
BTW, regarding the joke in your signature, there's a longer version.
Professor: There are languages where a double negative makes a positive.
A Russian student: Net, net! (an emphatically negative statement)
Professor: But there are no languages languages where a double positive
makes a negative.
A Russian student: Da, da... (equivalent to Yeah, right!)
