I have a textfield, or a paragraph of text. I want to make one word in the textfield be a rollover which will link to an url. Yes I have selected the word and made it link ok BUT, I’d like it to behave like a button with a rollover state and a hit state. However when i make the word a button and place it into the textfield it moves and doesn’t look good when i play it as a test movie. How can i maake a text button in a textfield?
