Hi there,  
I am trying to add clickable links to a dynamic text box that is being used by different buttons (every time you click a different button the information in the text field changes). I have the text bos set to render as html and I can add bold, etc. tags, but because of the " mark in an href tag, it’s not taking it.  
Here’s part of the code, I’d like the url to be wrapped around the word MARTA  
}  
on (release) {  
info.htmlText="\<b\>Marta\</b\>\<br\>\<br\>Getting to downtown Atlanta can be made easier by using the public transportation system. Georgia State provides discounted monthly MARTA Transcards for students";  
infobar.setScrollPosition(1);  
}

Thanks  
ZOE
