Hi guys, i used htmlText to load my html text file to the Flash actionscript but the hyperlinking part is not working.  
In my html file, i tried to [COLOR=blue]hyperlink[/COLOR] e.g:  
[COLOR=red]\<a href=‘[http://www.tradenet.gov.sg/trdnet/index.jsp?catName=7&artName=10349&url=/html/32\_List\_of\_Controlled\_Goods\_-\_Exports.html](http://www.tradenet.gov.sg/trdnet/index.jsp?catName=7&artName=10349&url=/html/32_List_of_Controlled_Goods_-_Exports.html)’\>[/COLOR] to a word, it’s not working and the below text would disappear. However, if i wanted to change the url to this:  
[COLOR=red]\<a href="[/COLOR][[COLOR=red]http://www.tradenet.gov.sg/trdnet/index\_home.jsp[/COLOR]](http://www.tradenet.gov.sg/trdnet/index_home.jsp)[COLOR=red]? “target=”\_blank"\>[/COLOR]  
Then it’s working. So i suspect that it’s the [COLOR=blue]complicated url behind(got the catName=7&artName=…)[/COLOR] that makes the flash unable to read. What should i do?
