I think I might be unless someone brilliant can help.
I’m working with a flash template that loads external images and text using an xml file.
Everything works well the only problem is I’ve promised a client that as well as a “title” and “description” I will also include a clickable URL link. I can edit the flash to a certain extent but I am having a nightmare of a time including a clickable url. Is there anyone out there who can help?
“photo_description”, “photo_title” and “photo_url” are the names of the dynamic text fields.
Here is the AS…
