Hi Folks,
I’m pulling in an external text file and I want to be able to create a hyperlink within the text to go to a particluar frame (or label).
Any clue on how I might accomplish this?
Thanks,
Michael

i could be wrong but i don’t think you can because in order for text to be a link it has to be parsed as html and html can’t link to something within a flash movie.
i would make them link to swf files or html pages with swf files on them.
i hope this helps

That’s kind of what I thought…sigh. I was hoping there might be some way to maybe pass a function off or something to that effect.
Thanks,
Michael
