hi all. I have a problem, and unlike most of my problems i have exhausted my options before posting here.
i am trying to call an actionscript function from a dynamic text box and am rendering the text as html, inputting a string from a variable, and hoping to call the function using href and asfunction. the code is like this, some has been cut out because it is unnesecary.
home.menu = "<a href=\"asfunction:loadContent\">News</a><br />Employment<br />Contact";
......//etc etc
menu.txt = home.menu;
......//etc etc
function loadContent() {
trace("function was called");
}
where ‘home.menu’ is a variable string declared within the ‘home’ movieclip to change the text box within the ‘menu’ movieclip depending on which button is selected.
where ‘menu.txt’ is the var given to the text box within the ‘menu’ movie clip.
where ‘loadContent’ is a function to be called when a particular link in the text box is clicked. (hoping to also pass a variable with asfunction, but thought i would try to get the function to call before worrying with parameters for the function)
i have gotten the code to work when calling a simple http reference, instead of asfunction, but can’t figure out why it would not call the function even though i am using the same syntax. the text still displays in the text box ok, but does not call the function when pressed.
hope you can help me!
