pc Is there a way to freeze the contents of one frame while editing another?

[andyweixuan]

I have developed an English language learning application using FM12 PC version. For example, the left panel displays the reading passage and the right is the answer panel. I hope when I switch from the reading passage panel to the answer panel, I can still read the part of the reading passage. However, it does not work. Whenever I make a switch,the scroll bar of the reading passage panel will automatically reset, which means the cursor goes back to the beginning of the text. This is really inconvenient for users to do a reading exercise, especially when the passage is very long. 

 

Is there any solution?

I moved your topic from "FileMaker 13 General Discussion" to "Managing Scripts”,  because , the general topic for version 13 is reserved for questions about version 13 and not questions for version 12.

 

I’m not quite sure what is at the bottom of the question but it sounds like you want to look at the ”new window” script step. Hope this point you in the right direction.

Are you sure about that? I am having a hard time orienting myself in your screen shot.

Why don't you use a web viewer to show the reading passage.
