Hi Lee
Several things you might want to consider:
1). If you link to the html page that you've downloaded, the formating
should remain intact as you noted in your email. If you would like to retain
the formating when copying the contents of that member to a different
member, then you would do something like:
member("someMemberA").html = member("someMemberB").html
2). If you want to change the rect of a text member, then you need to change
its width and height properties of the member. Rect has no affect on a text
member.
example assuming you want to set a text member to be 100 pixels wide by 200
pixels tall then you would do it as:
member("someTextMember").width = 100
member("someTextMember").height = 200
Rect will however work for fields when setting the rect of the member.
One further comment here, you will need to set the member to #Fixed before
you can adjust the width and height (or at least the height) of the member,
the same goes for setting the rect of a field.
As advice, don't mess with the sprite's rect, width or height for text and
field sprites, if I remember right, director will just ignore your requests
anyhow.
Hope that this has been some assistance to you.
Sincerely
Mark R. Jonkman
