I am trying to pass a v[font=Arial]ariable from an HTML page to a dynamic text box in my flash movie. I can do this without any problem with basic text and a few html tags (like \<b\>, \<i\>, and \<br\>), but I can’t get a link (\<a href="…) to show up. Is the problem more than likely in the html or the flash file? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! [/font]

[font=Arial]Here is the string from the html:[/font]  
\<param name=“movie” value=“test.swf?text=hello\<a href=“[http://www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com)”\>click here for more info\</a\>” /\>

The text box in my flash file is a dynamic text box named “text”. I have “Render text as html” selected.
