OK, I get that. But then how would a function, something you in
particular are fond of, work?
In this case I wouldn't use any field access, it would be inefficient
and slow for all but very short field contents. But if someone put a
knife to my throat and said, "write a function or else," then I'd do it
the same way Bernd did, only instead of counting lines in the
styledText, I'd count lines in the field. It requires the engine to
access the field repeatedly for every line and makes me wince:
local sCounter = 0
on mouseUp -- about to mangle Bernd's handler now
put 0 into sCounter
sort lines of field "fData" numeric ascending by myColor(each)
end mouseUp
function myColor
add 1 to sCounter
put the backcolor of line sCounter of fld "fData" into tRGB -- ow, ow
if tRGB = "" then -- no backgroundColor
return 0
end if
return item 1 of tRGB -- test for redness
-- or do anything you want with R,G,B
end myColor
