i am using this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm). Is there a way to make the external text display as a link?  
I tried applying this tutorial :[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm) but it does not work on .txt files that are from an external source.

thank you
