I haven’t worked with HTML TextFields much, and was wondering if this is even possible.

I am working on an events calendar, which when loaded displays a list of the current month’s event titles in an HTML TextField. I would like to have these titles be links that when clicked on would call an ActionScript line that would setFocus on the associated date TextField.

Is this possible, or will I have to make each event title into a button?

Here is the work-in-progress so you can see what I cannot explain well 🙂
