I’ve got a question.  
Is there any way that can I scroll text from an external .txt file BUT to include links IN the text that will make an action to be performed?

:h:

I mean… loading external text that by clicking on a word or phrase an onRelease action can be assigned to it.

an example I’ve seen is in [tobymac.com](http://tobymac.com) in the news menu , the scrapbook section. the text is loaded from external file and it have an action. It works just as any button in flash

I will really appreciate anyone’s help
