[F8] Html Controlling Flash....

[Skulky]

I am loading XML childNodes like these

<p><a class="link" href="external/img07.jpg">Picture 07</a></p>

into the htmlText dynamic boxes.

Is there a way to click on the link inside the textbox, and display this image in the link in a separate movieClip (that's next to the textbox) ALL in the same Flash Movie. Or at least display outside in a pop up html window

Hope it all makes sense...

use asfunction -

<a href='asfunction:myFunction,external/img07.jpg'>Picture 07</a>

in Flash -

function myFunction(param){
myClip.loadMovie(param);
};

How are you using links within the xml? I can never seem to get that to work.. the xml just things its a new element when it sees the <a> tag. Do you have some script checking that?

Set your dynamic textbox to html (textbox.html = true)
Then, instead of using a nodeValue, get the textBox to display the element itself, thus the <a> tag will become a link....
