Linktext is the way to go... Such as...
Set the linktext of word 2 of field "myField" to "myCard" Then, in order to respond to it, you can do one of the following: If it is a locked field, do this: On linkclicked pLink If exists(card pLink of this stack) = true then go card pLink End linkclicked If this is in an unlocked field, linkclicked won't work. For an unlocked field, use this: On selectionchanged -- make sure it is a click action, rather than a highlighting action If word 4 of the selectedchunk <= word 2 of the selectedchunk then exit selectionchanged -- then get the link information of the selected text and respond to it Put the linktext of the selection into tLink If exists(card tLink of this stack) = true then go card tLink End selectionchanged -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Gilliland Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 12:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Text Hyperlink 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.
