beautiful sir...

Geo,

i guess it could be useful in some situations, and since you solved it in such a quick and elegant way, it would probably be easy to implement as a behavior.

but if ash chose not to do so, for the reason sqiddster stated, i would hope that you would make this 'method' a quick tutorial for other users. because it is a very nice way to solve this particular problem.

do you mean like this http://www.scirra.com/manual/94/destroy-outside-layout

or outside the 'view' window?

Pode,

thank you very much. i seem to have a knack for picking what initially seem like simple projects, which later become much harder to complete than i realized...lol.

Pode,

thank you for offering to help. the functionality should behave like this...

you can input terms or tag words and the program will search through a pdf manual to find the pages or sections that contain those words or tags. it will present a list of found pages and the user selects which page is shown.

i don't know if i need the pdf manual to be locally within the app or if it can be in a cloud host like dropbox or google docs.

i had the interface figured out and realized i had no idea how to search the pdf manual.

if this is not clear enough, or you need more specific information, please let me know.

and thank you once again.

i guess this was harder than i first realized.

can anyone let me know if this is outside the scope of c2 now?

sixe,

very nice...
