hi.

Another extremely basic qusetion I’m afraid but here goes…

I’m creating a small news swf to load into a page which will contain dates and information that I plan to update. I also plan to put links in this news text that will take the user to other URL’s or open up other swfs. The problem I’ve got is I need to use a scroll bar for the text so I’ve used dynamic text but flash will not let me add any links like I could in static text.

Whats the solution??

thanks
