I was wondering if you had to do something special to make text a button link in flash? Yesterday i was making a flash footer for my homepage and was trying to make plain text links in it and for some reason it wouldnt work :h:

Dynamic text box. Format as HTML (\<\> button in properties). Highlight text you want as link. Type in url in the box in properties. Choose how the link opens (\_blank = new window, \_self = current window, etc.). Test it out and there you go.
