Hi everyone

I don’t work with flash much and just ran into a problem. I’m trying to script a url. vURL gets the url from xml, and it’s working. But I ran into an issue when I tried to type the typical a href= html around it because of the " marks that need to go around the url in order for the html to work.

```auto
 vList = vList + "<FONT COLOR=\"#000000\">" + vDate + " :: <a href="" + vURL + ""><click here</a></FONT><BR>";

```

Any ideas on making this work?
