Hi,

I’ve just started learning flash and actionscript and am testing my stuffs at [http://www.marcliu.com](http://www.marcliu.com) . If you access the site, and click on the coloured bars, news will appear on the left image box. I loaded the text from an external text file on the web server. Example July6.txt .

Basically I start the textfile with this :

&june30=30th June :  
Nothing spectacular today. blahblahblah

However, I wish to insert links, and if possible pictures. Is that possible?

Thanks

img tags must use an absolute url, ie, “[http://www.yoursite/images/image01.jpg](http://www.yoursite/images/image01.jpg)” or “[http://localhost/yoursite/images/image01.jpg](http://localhost/yoursite/images/image01.jpg)”
