Passing Click from Image to Field?

[Jose L. Rodriguez]

Hi Scott,

Try this on the image script:

on mousedown
  put item 2 of the clickloc+the scroll of fld 1 into theend
  put item 2 of the topleft of fld 1 into thestart
  put round (theend-thestart)/the textheight of fld 1 into theline
  select line theline of fld 1
end mousedown

Regards

Jose Luis
