Hi!

I have some HTML text loaded from a database, I have a link within the text which I want to be highlighted i.e. rollover when the mouse moves over or off the link.

I know this is simple in Flash 2004, cause you can use CSS, but I am targetting Flash player 5 or 6 users.

How can this be done in JavaScript or alternatively with a movieclip?

Gaz

I dnt think I understand what it is you want, but if u want a mouse over effect, then do it using the over frame in the buttons timeline
