<FONT FACE="Lucida Grande">Just as you (and I) though we were done... :) I need one more twist added to my code, and then I can actually sit down and finish translating some 30,000 words from the novel that I’m preparing for my students. <BR>
<BR>
The code, as stated before, is simple:<BR>
<BR>
on mouseUp<BR>
select the clickText <BR>
put the clickText into tClickedWord <BR>
put the cForms[tClickedWord] of this stack into fld "Translation Display"<BR>
put " " after fld "Translation Display"<BR>
put the cTranslations[tClickedWord] of this stack after fld "Translation Display"<BR>
set the textStyle of word 1 of fld "Translation Display" to bold<BR>
set the textStyle of word 2 of fld "Translation Display" to italic<BR>
end mouseUp<BR>
<BR>
I would like to be able to add certain grammatical and stylistic explanations which would not be linked to particular words, but rather to some difficult phrases, metaphoric expressions etc. So, I wonder if one could turn some chunks of text into links which would get highlighted with mouseOver (as in Revolution Documentation) - pointing thus that there is a note attached to that phrase (not all sentences will have them, of course) – and THEN have the link activated with a control-click or double-click (since single click should be reserved for individual words), displaying the note in the field “Translation Display.”<BR>
<BR>
Awaiting a kind response in fear and trepidation...<BR>
Yours truly,<BR>
T.<BR>
