This is probably something really simple, but I can’t figure it out, for some reason… I have some paragraphs of text, and I need some of the words to be links to other parts of the Flash movie - _without_ having to make symbols out of the text. I know I can just write URLs in the link area of the properties inspector when text is selected, but I don’t want a URL, just a different frame - is there any way I can make a selection of text have like a “gotoAndStop()” action, without making it a symbol?

Thanks!
