hyperlink bug?!

[Siulca webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi There,

Director seems to have a problem return dynamic hyperlinks such as the following:

[url]http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=lang_en%7Clang_pt&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&safe=off&q=dynamic+hyperLink+director+lingo&btnG =Google+Search[/url]

It seems to get stuck on the = characters and therefore it only returns the following:

[url]http://www.google.com/search?num[/url]

Anyone is aware of this and/or knows of a solution or workaround?

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Here it is the code, hope it helps:

on mouseWithin
if pointInHyperlink(sRef, the mouseLoc) = 1 then
wordNum = sRef.pointToWord(the mouseLoc)
link = sRef.member.word[wordNum].hyperlink
put link
end if
end

I hand entered your link path in the text inspector on dir 8, mac os9
and got back your whole link using;

put member(1).word[2].hyperlink


an alternative is to use lookup tokens in the hyperlink entries


linklist = ["A":
"http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=lang_en%7Clang_pt&ie=UTF-8&
oe=utf-8&safe=off&q=dynamic+hyperLink+director+lingo&btnG =Google+Search"]

token = sRef.member.word[wordNum].hyperlink

link = etaprop( linklist, token)

Hi JB,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have solved my problem in a different way.

Since the links are set with lingo, I search for any = signs and replace then for example by a *

When the link is clicked a repeat loop swaps any * by the original = sign. This is very probably not the most effective way of doing it but, so far, it seems to work like a charm :)

Thank you for your input anyways.

Very bests,
Siulca
