Howdy,

i have an external text file with this HTML in it:

mainheadlinetxt=\<font color="#CC0000" size=“16”\>\<a href=“[www.cricinfo.com](http://www.cricinfo.com)” target="\_blank"\>India on top\</a\>\</font\>

When i play my SWF the text **India on top** loads fine but when i go to click on the hyperlink nothing opens.

Can anyone help me.

Thankyou kindly
