[COLOR=black]Hi, I’ve just done the Kirupa XML Data in Flash tutorial but would like to add a url link for \<name\>Thomas Edison\</name\> could someone please clearly show me how you do this? If it’s a php link will this work the same? Thanks[/COLOR]

Have tried the following but on preview just came up as the url.

\<name\>\<![CDATA[\<a href=“[http://google.com](http://google.com)”\>Thomas Edison\</a\>]]\>\</name\>
