Hi,

How can I do a hyperlink in Flash (with the hyperlink underlined)? And how can I hyperlink a email add to Outlook Express?

And how can I load images together with an external .txt file in a dynamic box which is also a scrollbox?

Anyone knows?

**1)** You can make a link in flash by creating a button and add some action:

on (press) {  
getURL(“[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)”, “\_blank”);  
}

The “\_blank” option opens a blank browser window when clicking the link.  
To make an e-mail link, use “mailto” instead of the http stuff:

```
getURL("mailto:info@kirupa.com");

```

**2)** txt-file + scrollbar tutorial:
