Web link in Dynamic Text Box from XML file

programming flash
1

I have a flash file that loads in an xml file. (based off of the photo gallery with xml tutorial on this website) I updated it to add another node to include a weblink, here is a sample of the xml.

<images>
<pic>
<image>image01.jpg</image>
<productname>Name01</productname>
<productdesc>Some descriptive text</productdesc>
<productsite>www.website01.com</productsite>
</pic>
<pic>
<image>image02.jpg</image>
<productname>Name02</productname>
<productdesc>Some descriptive text</productdesc>
<productsite>www.website02.com</productsite>
</pic>
</images>

Now in the flash file I have the image loading. Then three separate dynamic text boxes. They each load their respective text.

The problem is with the last text box. How do I make is so that the text in the box is a link to that website and opens in a new window when clicked?

I have tried formating as HTML checked on the text box…and changed the code in the xml to read as follows.

<productsite><![CDATA[<a href=“http://www.website01.com” target=“_blank”>www.bebsite01.com </a>]]></productsite>

**With no luck either, it just displays the entire contents.
**

Here is the AS in the flash file.

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = ;
productname = ;
productdesc = ;
productsite = ;
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
productname* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
productdesc* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
productsite* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“products.xml”);
