after following the instructions in the [size=2][color=#000000] **Creating a Hyperlink** (link below) tutorial, I had trouble when it came to adding the actions. Eventually, I figured it out, but wasnt able to do it as instructed.
My question is how do I pull up the url field? It may be that Im using flash mx 2004, but you would think they would make things easier in 2004 instead of taking out usefull tools such as the url field…

You need to bring up what’s called the “Property Inspector” by either going to the “Window” menu or pressing Control+F3. This shows properties (such as the link bar) for whichever object is currently selected on the stage.
So click on your text to display properties for the textfield. The link field is the large one at the bottom.
P.S. I think HTML code is turned off in these forums. I may be wrong, if so, there’s probably an option in the “Go Advanced” reply section.

thanks so much for trying to help me, but I must be doing something wrong because I still cant seem to find what im looking for…

the tutorial uses a feature called “Normal mode” in the actionscript editor which was stupidly removed from MX2004. You’ll just have to type in the script by hand (which you’ve done and which is how its done now).
Note: the new behaviors panel allows for the inclusion of simple commands like this with a simpler interface than typing them in directly in the actionscript editor

gotcha, i figured it was something stupid like that but I just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing a usefull tool. Thanx so much for your help:thumb:
ok, i got one more for ya…
in the **“creating a text scroller”** tutorial i made it to where it asks to add the scroller component, however my flash is lacking that component…
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/images/textsc5.gif](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/images/textsc5.gif)
the closest component to ScrollBar is ScrollPane in my program. I tried to use ScrollPane instead but it throws off the whole tutorial.
Any suggestions?

TextArea Component = TextField + ScrollBar Component
Or upgrade to Flash MX 2004 7.2 and you’ll get a ScrollBar Component

awesome, i think i’ll upgrade since it looks like the only way to edit the text with the TextArea compenent is one line in the properties field.
Thanks so much for the quick responses, it woulda taken me days to figure that out by myself :h:
