hi, i have followed the loading of the external textfile into my flash movie from this excellent site, and it works…but the hyper links don’t work.

my textbox actionscript is :

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“work.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
newsBox.html = true;  
newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;  
}  
};

and my textfile is :

myNews=\<a href=“[www.bricktaylor.com](http://www.bricktaylor.com)” target="\_blank"\>Brick Taylor\</a\>\<br\>  
\<a href=“[www.qaommunications.com.au](http://www.qaommunications.com.au)” target="\_blank"\>Q and A Communications\</a\>

does anyone have any idea why the links don’t work in the flash movie ?

thanks for any help
