Hi,

I’m currently working on an interactive human body.

I need to be able to do the following:

When a location is clicked by the user, the anatomical region i.e. ‘Hand Palm/Right’ as well as the X and Y coordinates need to be sent to a field input on the form. The location should also be displayed on the image in the form of a red ‘x’.

Thanks

you could do it this way:

1. have a mc for every zone in the body you need and put a reference code in the instance name ie: zone\_12

2. have an array and place the real names of the zones at the number positon. ie: if zone\_12 is the right hand then names\_array[12] = “Right Hand”

3. have a function that takes the number from the instance name (12 in zone\_12) and get the text from the array. ie: names\_array[give\_number(“zone\_12”)]

4. then have a function the puts the text and mouse coordinates or mc coordinates on some textfields
