For a portfolio site, I have descriptive blurbs dynamically loaded from an external text file. In those blurbs is an option to “launch the site”, which works great. Flash looks at:

\<a href=“[http://www.mySite.com/](http://www.mySite.com/)” target="\_blank"\>\<u\>Launch Site\</u\>\</a\>

and understands the html.

However, in another section I’m trying to “launch” a swf into a regular old Flash level or MC (not an html window).

How would I write that kind of link into the blurb?

I found some inklings at [this Kirupa thread](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8962&perpage=15&highlight=xml%20load%20swf&pagenumber=1), but still don’t know…
