So, I made a text area. Then I added a text link. But I don’t know how to target it to the textarea. ---

Not quite sure what you mean - you want the link to show up in the text area? :h: ---

Sorry I’m not clear. Um, well I have a text link on the flash movie right. Now I want it so when I click on the link, the new page will apear in the textarea. Like in HTML where you have a link \ Where the ‘area’ is the name of the iframe. ---

I don’t think you can do that with a Flash textarea. ☹ ---

As far as I know you can only use \_self, \_parent, \_blank, you know, the usual. Can you post a link to an example you’ve seen? :hr: ---

Actually, or is it, each link has it’s own textbox. Like say the link is “me” it would be open in a new text box, and the old one is gone? I think thats how it is O.o;; I’m a little confused myself [http://angel-goddess.net/indexnew16.shtml](http://angel-goddess.net/indexnew16.shtml) ---
