Hello Seth, Did you figure out anything yet related to this?
I am work in on the same thing right now, I managed to add selectable text for not zoomed, not shifted document swf. Any thoughts on correction for hittest when document get shifted/zoomed? _______________ Sincerely Cristian Rusu ============== www.crilance.com Web Development & Electronic Publishing Chat: [image: Y! messenger:] crirus74 [image: Skype:] Crirus [image: MSN:] [email protected] Contact Me: [image: Linkedin] <http://www.linkedin.com/in/crirus>[image: Twitter] <http://twitter.com/crirus> 2009/2/19 Goldstein, Seth <[email protected]> > > My fault.
