I'm not sure how this discussion verged into Generator-bashing, but for
"How can I detect which text the user clicked on?" then the easiest way to
is use multiple text symbols and assign a unique action to each one.

(iow, because there's not a "mouseLine" function as in Lingo, you may not
wish to use a mouseline-ish approach.)

For "How can I combine scrolling, and dynamic data, and the initiation of
different actions depending on which text they click on?" then that gets
more complex, and you'd probably be looking at mouse location comparisons
in ActionScript.
