Dont be sorry, thanks for giving me your time! It is a Flash panel that will link to HTML pages. ---

It looks promising… tahnks a lot. just so you’re clear, this is what i’m going for. I want each line of text in the scrollbar to act as a seperate button. i think i might be asking for too much here. Probably need some frames in the html too ---

Wahey, i got it working. MX rocks and so do you. While we’re here, any idea on how i would target a cetain frame from these links? ---

I’ms sure there is a way to do it cause u can do it form a flash button. Give me a little time and i’ll test some ideas and see what comes. ---

LOL it is easy actualy i wasnt looking. In point # 6 of the diagram i provided it shows the target selection drop down. You cna actualy type in the name of your frame ID. So if our frame is called content jsut type in “\_content” no quotations though. That should work. ---

It is simple just select your dynamic text box and click the “Render text as HTML” button I point out in step 3 of my digram. Then in your external TXT file you can now use HTML tags to format your text. So if your variable was “myText” ```php myText = Click HERE to view my site. ``` Would display like this in your text box at run time Click [HERE](http://www.sintax321.com) to view my site. ---

Im having trouble targeting the frame. Ive got \_content in the target box, and i have a frame named content. Do i need anyhting else, coz its not happening. My text and links are part of a movie clip… could that make a difference? ---
