Hi Dave,
If you look in the Lingo by topic portion of the Help topics you'll find a good
listing of text syntax there. Here is the one regarding which line you are pointing at
with the mouse:
--------------------------------------
This Lingo displays the number of the line being clicked, as well as the text of the
line, in the Message window:
property spriteNum
on mouseDown me
pointClicked = the mouseLoc
currentMember = sprite(spriteNum).member
lineNum = sprite(spriteNum).pointToLine(pointClicked)
lineText = currentMember.line[lineNum]
put "Clicked line" && lineNum & ", the text" && lineText
end
--------------------------------------
