I have a flash movie with a dynamic loading textfield formatted in html. What I’m looking to do is format (using a tag?) the loaded html code to have a hyperlink (\<a href?\>) gotoAndPlay(2) or perform other functions. Anyone familiar with how to go about this?

Thanks  
-Mike

in the textfile href.txt  
vars=\<a href=“asfunction:GOTO”\>click to Jump Frame \</a\>

in Flash

stop();  
lv = new loadVars();  
lv.onLoad = function() {  
myText.htmlText = this.vars;  
};  
lv.load(“href.txt”);  
function GOTO() {  
\_root.GotoAndPlay(5);  
}

Thanks, worked like a charm.

Do you know what syntax I need to pass a variable through the asfunction?

Say for example I want to go to the frame labelled _“thankyou”_ and change the GOTO function to _GOTO(theLabel)_.

The _vars=\<a href="asfunction:GOTO_???.. and scripting the html code for quotation marks to contain a variable (\*“thank you” \*) would you use _%22_, _'/_, or other syntax?

I’ve found it. [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42654&](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42654&) a simple comma, such as _asfunction:GOTO,thankyou_ will pass the value “thankyou” into the function’s ‘theLabel’ parameter.

Thanks again.
