Unusual trouble with htmlText and link

Hi! This should be an easy task, but somehow it’s not…

I’m currently working on http://mayorgordon.net/mayorgordon.swf

and using htmlText in several textareas.

As you can see in the “latest news”-box, the text is both selectable and the link clickable.

However, in the News-section of the main menu, the text is selectable(you just don’t see it because of the text/background colors), but the link is not clickable(same news-element,same html-code).

This text was loaded with a loadVars symbol and treated with textFormat options. I Tried using the textformat.link, and that worked. I also tried placing another textfield in the same movieclip, but with a static link. that also worked. So it’s just this loaded htmlText - link that doesn’t.

The only thing I can think of is that the latter of the two news elements container lies deeper within the swf. than the first.

Anyone? anything?
