Hey all,  
So back when I used to make crappy html webpages we had tags that allowed us to determine the color of visited links, and links in general. I don’t know how to do this in flash.  
Here’s my particular situation: on my site I have a links page. I have used a static text box which I have set up links on separate lines in a paragraph by highlighting the text, and under properties, adding a URL for each line (each line is a different link) But I would like to set it up so moused-over links change to a color, and visited links become a color (much like old html pages, except for the mouse-over part). Is there a way to do this so I that I don’t have to make each line of the paragraph a separate button? And is there a way to globally set up a visited links color? I remember in MX there was a dialog called “color scheme” which I can’t find in flash 8.  
Thanks for your help,
