Hi Douglas You need to set the linkText property for the chunk and set its textstyle to 'link'. The easiest way to do this is to build a little utility button, something like...
on mouseUp if the selectedText is empty then exit mouseUp set the linkText of the selectedChunk to "test1" set the textstyle of the selectedChunk to "link" end mouseUp and in the scrolling field... on linkClicked tLink answer tLink # or whatever you want to occur end linkClicked The selected text will be displayed as a link (normally blue and underlined, although you can change the linkColor, visitedColor and hilitedColor as well as set the underlinelinks of the stack to true/false as well). HTH /H --- How can I select a word in a scrolling text field and assign it actions? I have been placing transparent buttons over text in non-scrolling fields- works great but won't work for scrolling fields. Searched the documentation and Dan's book but no answers. Tried selecting the text and using link (hoping for a hyperlink) but that looks like it is more for grouping text. I know this is a simple question (as all questions are when you know the answer) but being a newbe who authored in HyperStudio for years, I can't figure it out. I do appreciate all the advice I have received in previous posts.
