Dynamic Text as links?

[Emo]

Is this possible?

I have a dynamic menu that writes out the menu text from a dynamic array, but I want to make a link for each menu item... is there a way I can do that?

thanks

suppose your links are flashkit and macromedia:

link = ["<a href='http://www.flashkit.com'>flashkit</a>", "<a href='http://www.macromedia.com'>macromedia</a>"];
this.createTextField("t_txt", 1, 0, 0, 1, 1);
t_txt.html = true;
t_txt.htmlText = "here is " + link[0] + " and here is " + link[1];
t_txt.autoSize = true;

Thanks for the reply..

of couse, I have no idea where to stick your code, so I modified mine a little bit like this: (the bold is my modification)... so can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

menuItems = 3;
titles = new Array();
url = new Array();
leader.myText.text = "Drag Me";
for (i=0; i<menuItems; i++) {
	url[0] = "http://www.flashkit.com"
	url[1] = "http://www.microsoft.com"
	url[2] = "http://www.nxsupport.com"
	titles[0] = "Reviews";
	titles[1] = "Reader Reviews";
	titles[2] = "Round Table Reviews";
	_root.leader.duplicateMovieClip("subject"+i, i);
	_root["subject"+i].myText.getURL(url[i]);
	_root["subject"+i].myText.text = titles[i];

but it's not working of couse...

thanks for any help

EDIT: I wanted to add that this is the first time me messing with ActionScript so dont go laughing on my newbie mistakes

if I understand what you want:

menuItems = 3;
titles = new Array();
titles[0] = "<a href='http://www.flashkit.com'>Reviews</a>";
titles[1] = //like 0"
titles[2] = //like 0"
leader.myText.text = "Drag Me";
for (i = 0; i < menuItems; i++) {
	_root.leader.duplicateMovieClip("subject" + i, i);
	_root["subject" + i].myText.html = true;
	_root["subject" + i].myText.htmlText = titles[i];
}

you just need one array
you don't use getURL because this is text, not a button or a movieClip. therefore you use htmText
you don't put code which doesn't have an i inside the for loop, otherwise it will be executed menuItems times


oops..
maybe you want buttons:

menuItems = 3;
titles = new Array();
url = new Array();
url[0] = "http://www.flashkit.com";
url[1] = "http://www.microsoft.com";
url[2] = "http://www.nxsupport.com";
titles[0] = "Reviews";
titles[1] = "Reader Reviews";
titles[2] = "Round Table Reviews";
leader.myText.text = "Drag Me";
for (i = 0; i < menuItems; i++) {
	_root.leader.duplicateMovieClip("subject" + i, i);
	//assign a variable i to each
	_root["subject" + i].i = i;
	//they are buttons, so have to be clickable
	_root["subject" + i].onRelease = function() {
		getURL(url[this.i]);
	};
	_root["subject" + i].myText.text = titles[i];
}

Hmm..... that didnt work..

here is what I'm trying to modify:

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter...7792/index.php

basically he made a button, then with AS, he duplicated it and with the FOR loop he named all of the buttons, but since the text has to be dynamic, it can't hold any URL properties and I'm trying to go around that problem

thanks agian
