Put buttons on Dynamic Text..!

Hello there.

Does anyone knows how can you convert dynamic text to buttons?

I have a box with dynamic text and i want to make some words buttons
to put some actions…

If you are loading the text through AS or an external .txt file then you can use

textBoxInstanceName.html = true;
textBoxInstanceName.htmlText = textVariable;

This will html enable your textbox and tell it to convert the font formatting html tags in the file.

One of the tags Flash supports is the <A HREF=‘url’> tag.

But if you need to manipulate something inside your movie instead of opening a browser window then you should check out an undocumented function called ASFunction. Do a search on google for it, you can find useful information there :slight_smile:

Well what are you trying to make these buttons do? Do they go to URLs or do they Manipulate your movie in some way?

Ok, so you want it to manipulate your movie.

In that case you can only do that with an undocumented (which also means unsupported) feature in Flash AS called ASFunction.

I have only used ASFunction like once or twice before, and I don’t think I can explain clearly how it works, so I recommend doing a search on google for it because you can probably find more useful information about it there than I can give you.
