Hello all,
I built a gallery site for a friend and now she would like to have her large image descriptive text link to a more info page.
The site:
[http://www.hestervandiggelen.com](http://www.hestervandiggelen.com)
Attached is the Actionscript in a word doc (to keep under the size limits). The XML document is fairly simple…
```auto
DESCRIPTION TEXT HERE
```
I have seen from other threads on here about adding the !CDATA to your XML
and placing some code in the AS telling your text field to accept html. The problem is that although I get the overall concept, I am not proficient enough to figure out where to place the code (or even if I should be using it).
Any help would be appreciated - especially considering how much help this forum has been for me just by lurking.
thanks!
