Mmm... well, to easily do what you wish you could use a list field and determine the line that is clicked... put something like this in the script of the field...

Code: Select all

on mouseDown
   switch (word 2 of the clickline)
      case 1
         answer the long time
         break
      case 2
         answer the long date
         break
   end switch
end mouseDown

Bonjour problème,

you really should work through the "Scripting Conference" stacks I mentioned in one of your earlier postings:

Maybe start with stack "Controls" which also handles LIST FIELDS among other basic LC things.


Best

In addition to list fields, you can also use a locked text field with HTML links, responding to the linkClicked message.

What everyone said.

Also check out the "link" keyword and the "linkText" property. These give you a lot of control over what happens when the user clicks a chunk of text.
