The problem I am having is very amature I’m sure but I can’t seem to find a simple solution. I have a flash applet that is loading variables from a coldfusion page which is being used to query a database. One of the database fields contains the caption that I’d like to have displayed in a dynamic text box in the flash applet and another field contains the URL that I’d like the caption to link to. I am able to read the information into flash dynamically but I can’t get the dynamic text being read into the text field to link up to anything even when I plug in a static URL. Any suggestions?
