After doing the tutorial on kirupa for using css, I wanted to create text links to other frames in my movie. So I searched the forums and came across kode’s really helpful info on creating them. But when i try to incorporate the two i just cant seem to pull it off.

Basically i’m trying to attach a css to the below code, but due to my action script skills fail.

Text Links Code:  
[COLOR=royalblue]\_root.myText.htmlText = ‘\<a href=“asfunction:gotoAndStop,myFrame”\>Click here and goto my frame\</a\>’;[/COLOR]

CSS code:  
[COLOR=royalblue]var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
var path = “[http://www.juxtapozed.com/testing/personal/juxtstyle.css](http://www.juxtapozed.com/testing/personal/juxtstyle.css)”;  
var quick = “\<h3\>This is s test.\</h3\>\<p\>This is s test\<br\>This is s testThis is s testThis is s test\</p\>\<h4\>Click here to see This is s test.\<h4\>”  
format.load(path);  
format.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
output.styleSheet = format;  
output.text = quick;  
} else {  
output.text = “Error loading CSS file!”;  
}  
};[/COLOR]

any help will be much appreciated . juxatpozed.

hey juxtapozed

maybe try this:

//declare a function (textLink) in your flash movie like so

\_global.textLink = function() {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“myLabel”)

}

//then call to this function using the asfunction in your htmlText  
\<a href=‘asfunction:textLink’\>\<b\>text link\</b\>\</a\>

cheers!

Welcome to kirupaForum, juxtapozed! 🙂

You have to HTML enable the text field (you can do this via the [font=courier new]TextField.html[/font] property, or selecting “Render text as HTML” in the Properties panel), and assign the HTML formatted text to the text field through the [font=courier new]TextField.htmlText[/font] property. 😉

Try this:

```auto
format.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
output.html = true;
output.styleSheet = format;
output.htmlText = quick;
} else {
output.text = "Error loading CSS file!";
}
};

```

No problem. 😛

…By the way, please use the ActionScript tag [**AS][**/AS] to display your code next time. 🙂
