Hi,

I’ve built a dynamic scrolling textbox that loads external text and formats it via css. Everything works as it should except I need to add some links in the text file that contain variables (i.e., something like this: [http://jobsearch.monster.com/jobsearch.asp?opt=go&sort=rv&vw=b&cy=US&re=14&brd=1%2C1862%2C1863&rad=50&q=macromedia](http://jobsearch.monster.com/jobsearch.asp?opt=go&sort=rv&vw=b&cy=US&re=14&brd=1%2C1862%2C1863&rad=50&q=macromedia)).

Flash will not interpret this properly as a normal html link in the loaed text file. Is this even possible? Are there workarounds?

Thanks,

Pete
