i don't know. goto bit-101.com and click on one of the text links in the "news" window. those are external text files with the basic format i showed above. if it works, then there's something else you are doing wrong. if that doesn't work for you, please let me know, because i've never heard of anyone having a problem with it.

oops. saw your last reply after i wrote that. glad you got it working.

had some thoughts before I came to the part where everything was solved but I still wonder if this would work:

set "_blank" as basetarget in the header of that html file

so why when i include the target parameter in my .txt files, everything up thill then shows up in flash but nothing after?

Bhoran,

I had exactly the same problem. It still isn't clear to my why but this is what my situation is:

I create the text to be imported into my swf with a wysiwyg editor i wrote in javascript and php. This stuff gets stored into a mysql database. Now, I don't now why but this:

insrt =  '<a href="' +urlText+'" target="_blank">' + descriptionText + '</a>';
curSel.pasteHTML(insrt);

resulted in the next line being stored into my db:

<A href="http://www.google.com/" target=_blank>click</A>

Notice that the quotes around my target are missing!

So I thought to try and be clever:

insrt =  '<a href="' +urlText+'" target=&quot;_blank&quot;>' + descriptionText + '</a>';
curSel.pasteHTML(insrt);

this resulted in the next line being stored into my db:

<A href="http://www.google.com/" target='"_blank"'>click</A>

But now flash accepts it as target="_blank" and it all works fine...

Maybe this is like your situation, I don't know. But I thought I'd post it for others running into this prob...

Cheers
