Ok i have a dymanic text box that scrolls. There are some words that the client would like to be links to the other sections in the site much like what you would do in HTML. Is it possible to attach action script to a link in a dymanic text box that scrolls? The load script it self would be

[AS]on(release){  
loadMovie(“home.swf”,\_root.content);  
}[/AS]

Can i get a dynamic text link to do this?

Im assuming you are loading an external txt file.

```auto
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		myTextField.html = true;
		myTextField.htmlText = this.myVar;
	}
};
lv.load("text.txt");
function loadClip(arg) {
	var temp = arg.split("|");
	loadMovie(temp[0], temp[1]);
}

```

And on the txt file called text.txt:

```auto
myVar=Load movie <a href='asfunction:loadClip,home.swf|_root.content'>here</a>&

```
