Loaded text file in flash mx 2004

1

Hi,

I’ve just started learning flash and actionscript and am testing my stuffs at 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

enable html in the textfield, and set htmlText=your loaded text; a href and img tags work

hi eyezberg, i enabled html
then opened my july6.txt, and added some a href tags
but it just appears as normal text. what can be the problem?

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