**w’sup everyone…**  
i’ve got a list of links to display, and i’d like to know what sort of options i have with flash, to make them more user friendly.

the links will just be text, displayed like such:

**[color=navy]link 1  
link 2[/color]**  
**[color=navy]link 3[/color]**  
**[color=navy]…[/color]**  
**[color=navy]…[/color]**  
**[color=navy]…[/color]**  
**[color=navy]…[/color]**  
**[color=navy]link 22[/color]**  
[color=navy] **link 23** [/color] (etc…)

i came across this tutorial: (_“links in a dynamic text box”_)  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/links\_dynamictextbox.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/links_dynamictextbox.htm)  
and that is certianly an easy way to enter all the data, and set up the corresponding links/hypertext.

but are there any easy ways to simulate CSS? for example, so that visited links show up a diff color, or so that they have various roll over qualities? (mainly changing color/font size/itallics/etc… but a **SOUND** would be cool too!! 🍺 )

i know i could just make buttons for each indiviudal text link… but i’ve got a **LOT** of links… and making that many buttons sounds quite time consuming…

so is there any short quick way (like in CSS, where you can link them all to a style sheet) to do this with flash?

hey radioxromance, **goodlookingout!!!**  
i really appreciate you taking the time to put that together. its still a bit beyond my current knowledge level to really run with though. (but i get the idea!!)

so since we didnt seem to get much input here, i might take your code and idea over to some other forums, and see if anybody else has any thoughts!

i **really do** need some better options for presenting my links, so if i’m able to come to a solution based off your idea, i’ll let you know! :cowboy:

sweet glad to be of help. I was in the process of figuring out how to do it with a text file to jsut change, but that was beyond me and I gave up a little haha. But I liked helping I had to think about it in a new way!
