Hi Karl!

Just a question how to display paragraph text?

There is an easy way to do it? I tried to generate texture text from my own
cast member text in the
" on createTextMember me" without success.

Maybe you'll can help me before i be able to manage it by myself.

thx a lot.

I just took a peep at the code, seems good.

But why do you do this?

on new me, mMember, mSprite, mText, mLink, mParameter, mFont, mFontSize,
mForeColorNormal, mBackColorNormal,\
mForeColorHilight, mBackColorHilight, mForeColorNormalDisabled,
mBackColorNormalDisabled, mForeColorHilightDisabled,\
mBackColorHilightDisabled, mBold, mItalic, mUnderline, mRowNumber,
mArrowBitmapMemberNormal, mArrowBitmapMemberHighlight, mDisabled
-- Parameters
pMember = mMember
pSprite = mSprite
pText = mText
...
etc

Much more coding friendly would be a propertylist, with defaults if non were
passed, like:

on new me, aOption
-- Parameters
pMember = aOption[#Member]
pSprite = aOption[#Sprite]
pText = aOption[#Text]
...
etc

--defaults
if voidP(pMember ) then pMember = new (#text) --ot whatever the default
woulf be, perhaps an error.
if void( pSprite ) then return -1 --Needing a sprite.
...
etc

I mean, how does this code look?

script("aboveScript").new(
member("mymmem"),void,void,void,void,void,void,voi d,void,void,void,
rgb(250,0,0) )
could be this:
script("aboveScript").new( [#member: member("mymmem"),
#ForeColorNormalDisabled: rgb(250,0,0)] )

Hi Christoffer,

I agree. I used to code the old John Thomson's way (the great man from the
Bronx who created Lingo).

Now, I have my own coding standards.

Some seasoned developers who also use Delphi do this way in Director :

obj = new Class()

obj.property1 = value1
obj.property2 = value2
....
obj.propertyn = valuen

Everyone has his/her own coding standards.

Cheers,
Karl.
