    I think you are trying to use imported text that will act as flash commands. Is that right?

    If so, it can't be done. Flash must compile all commands to make them work and it cannot do this on the fly in the player.

    OK,

    you need to use:

    <a href='asfunction:yourFunction,yourArg'> link text </a>

    which allows you to run an actionscript link from within html text.

    I'm not sure that it will allow you to do this:

    <a href='asfunction:_root.yourMC.gotoAndPlay,8'> link text </a>

    if not then you will need to create a custom function to do this by coding something like this in Frame 1 of your maintimeline:

    function yourMCGAP (frameNum) {
    _root.yourMC.gotoAndPlay (frameNum);
    }

    and then in your html you'd put

    <a href='asfunction:yourMCGAP,8'> link text </a>

    which would run the function yourMCGAP passing in the frame number 8 and the function would then play the right frame.

    This should give you an idea of how it works.

    Regards

    Andy
