Hyperlink in an external text file loaded by flash

Hi,

Im using a scrollable dynamic text box in flash, which calls a text file and uses some basic css formatting.

What I would like to know is if its possible to use css for the hyperlink? I know i can use regular css rollover effects, but i was hoping the text that is surrounded by an a href could also be surrounded by a span class (with an underline and a different colour).

Also, my current hyperlink doesnt seem to wanna go the page. The mouse pointer changes shape, so it knows theres a link there, but when clicked it doesnt do anything. It also seems to ignore other basic html formatting such as using the ‘b’ bold tag.

The wird thing is is that its picking up the css p class = , but none of the html formatting!

Any ideas why this might be?

I created my file using tutorials from kirupa, the tute was for mx2004 but im using flash 8.
