dynamic text boxes - would like to target html link to "_top"

[coopster]

I have text boxes (within a standalone projector) that have links to web sites. I have specified the following for the text box:


TEXT OPTIONS TAB:

Dynamic Text
Multi Line
Variable is: TextField101
The HTML box is checked.


CHARACTER TAB:

URL= http://www.website.com (I would like to specifiy target="_top" here but it removes it)


Is this something that needs to be specified in ActionScript or somewhere else?

Thanks for the help!

Hey, what's up?

instead of using the url box, just insert the html into the text like so:::::

var Text = "lets <a href=\"http://www.mysite.com\" target=\"top\"> go here </a>

the key is to specify the target in the html link in the text box,

hope that helps.

I must be dumb today.... or I may need you to draw me a picture of this with Crayons

I tried the code you suggested but am not getting the right results


You suggested putting this code right in the text box with all the other text, correct?
--------------------------
For example:

This is the text in the text box and you should visit this link, so
var Text = "lets <a href=\"http://www.mysite.com\" target=\"top\"> go here </a> .
--------------------------

The result I thought I would get is:

This is the text in the text box and you should visit this link, so lets go here.
------------------------------

I tried different variations of the code you gave me... what am I doing wrong (besides working today)

Am I missing some "'s or anything?

Thanks again....

don't mention it...

Here's my secret to good flash coding...

drink mocha cappacunios right up to the point where you think you'll puke from all the caffiene...then go to it.

really gets the brain cooking.
