To continu with our discussion…
Ref. yesterday.I would like to put a link inside a dynamic text (news.txt) to a frame label (special)???
My frame label (special) is on my timeline (13).
It’s my dynamic text (news.txt) that is loaded into my mc (news)
is why I have :
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load(“textes/news.txt”, “\_root.news”);
I thank you in advance for your time or your file like.
Corinne

Just to say that I’m working on it, and that you shouldn’t have created another thread… :cowboy:

OK, here you go:
I have a text file called _corinneText.txt_ that contains
> &label=special
> Then in the Flash movie, which is located in the same folder as the text file, I have a first frame with some code in it and another frame later with the label _special_.
This is the code in the first frame:
```php
stop();
/ ***Preparation*** /
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("news",-1);
_root.createTextField("a",0,0,0,200,100 );
a.html=true;
/ ***Loading*** /
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
a.htmlText = "Go to the frame Special";
};
loadText.load("corinneText.txt", "_root.news");
```
The syntax is the following: asfunction:functionToCall,parameter(s).
Here you call gotoAndStop, with the parameter this.label that comes from your text file.
Cheers. Pom :cowboy:
I think this should be put in the Best of Kirupa, so could you please rate the thread?

_bowing down_ _back hurting a bit_
Well, ASfunction is -was- undocumented AS, I think, but it should be in the last update of the AS dictionary.
Basically, when you put that in a link, it allows you to call a function when you click a link. You can of course define your own function that will do whatever you want, or call a predefined function like we did here. You can see the syntax in the example.
I’ll probably put that in the AS tricks some day [SIZE=1]when my exams are over… and when Kirupa updates his site…[/SIZE]

This is what I have done by fallowing your advice:
in my text file “corinneText.txt” I have:
sTextA =KP special
name of the film
a href=“special” More info /a
&label=special
in my flash movie I have on the timeline:
frame 1 : my movie Clip “news” with a instance name “news”
frame 13: a frame Label “special”
in my movieclip “news” I have on frame 1:
a dynamic text with the name “scroller” and a var name"sTextA"
and a scroller with a Target text field “scroller”
an action layer:
```php
stop();
/ ***Preparation*** /
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("news",-1);
_root.createTextField("a",0,0,0,200,100 );
a.html=true;
/ ***Loading*** /
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
a.htmlText = "Go to the frame Special";
scroller.text = this.sTextA;
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.sTextA;
};
loadText.load("corinneText.txt", "_root.news");
```
what is wrong? and where?
Thank’s again and again,
Corinne

Is that what you have in your text file? Just like that? Because it won’t work that way. You have to separate your variables with &. Something like:
> sTextE=KP special&name=name of the film&label=special

well yes. but it work’s. I added only the tag for the fonts and the colors and the link for each text.
Because I call the var “sTextA” defined in my flash movie (dynamic text name) all my text are loaded.
Is it ok??
But the link that way is not working
a href=“special” (with the tag of course)
What is the correct link beside the &label=special ??

I don’t understand. Can you zip the file with the text file and post it here? If it’s too big, mail it at [pom2ter93@hotmail.com](mailto:pom2ter93@hotmail.com)

Hum, you mixed up a bit everything… I had made the preparation because I didn’t have the right clips and textfields set up, so you don’t need it.
I had to change the code in the loading too, nothing too important.
The error was in the text file: everything has to be on 1 line, and there should be any space between the variable name and the variable itself.
label=special -\> good
label =special -\> not good.
Cheers.

I don’t know how to thank you! You are such a good helper.
What would you advise :
I absolutly love flash, and want to keep progressing. What training would you advise to improve ?
Until know my knowledge come by trying stuff. As a graphic designer I develop my concept, I sell to my client and after I look for the “how I’m going to do that”.

And it depends on what you want to improve: your scripting skills or your design skills…

Well, Keith Peters swears it is a great book: [http://www.friendsofed.com/books/studio/flash\_mx/index.html](http://www.friendsofed.com/books/studio/flash_mx/index.html)
On the other hand he helped writing it…
And check friends of ed ([http://www.friendsofed.com](http://www.friendsofed.com)) they usually have good stuff.

And what if you want to use characters like “ú”, “é” etc?
because if you would use characters like this, the text would display a square
