Hello all,

Long time no post…

I am trying to add timeline navigation triggers to certain words within static text fields. I am able to link to external documents, and network file locations without issue and can use the mailto:… to create a mail popup, but perhaps the simplest thing is escaping me - how to navigate to a certain labelled frame on the timeline!

Is this doable, and if so how? I don’t want to overlay an invisible button to get this to work, since any edits to the text field require the repositioning of the button object, and I don’t want to do this via Actionscript, other than what might go in the Hyperlink input field.

Anyone have an idea?
