Hi

I have this example here:  
[http://www.qwertypcs.co.uk/as3test2.html](http://www.qwertypcs.co.uk/as3test2.html)

This is using Thickbox, and this the code I am using in Flash:

```auto

eg1Mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	 ExternalInterface.call("tb_show" , "Elizabeth Martin Website" , "images/slidec.jpg?cid=6&height=450&width=560" , false);
}

eg1Mc.buttonMode = true;

```

Where I have Elizabeth Martin Website as a caption how would I change this so I could have:

Elizabeth Martin Website  
Click to see this site

Where click to see would obviously be a link to the site?

Can this be done in AS3 or would it be done via the javascript file that this code calls?
