hey flash peeps

i need help!

is it possible to add links to text that is loading externally in scroll bars??

this is the tutorial i followed. but i can’t seem to find a way to add links or bold parts of a sentence. i tried adding html tags to the txt file, but they just show up in the text box without any interactivity:
