hello,
for text to link, you could either make the text a button,
(highlight text, and then select insert\> convert to symbol)
or you could just type the url into the link area in the properties. make sure the text is static, and then that option will be available to you…

oh, whoops,
also, for the mouseover, if it is a movie clip that you are rolling over, put this code on it…
on (rollOver) {
put your actions here
}
if it is a button, then whatver you put in your ‘over’ state will be what appears when you mouseover.
hope this helps!
🙂
