I have a scrolling dynamic text box, that pulls data from a .txt file.  
//  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“disclaimer.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
scroller.text = this.disclaimertext;  
};  
//

## Is there a way to format the text and add a link within the .txt file? I have tried this:

## disclaimertext=hi here is a link \<font color="#FFCC00"\>\<a href=“[http://www.domain-name.com](http://www.domain-name.com)”\>\<B\>Domain-Name \</B\>\</a\>\</font\>

but is doesn’t work.

I have read a few posts similar to this topic but still cannot work it out.

Could someone please give me advice or direct me to somewhere I can find tutorial/info related to this problem?
