    Internal Flash Linking with Dynamic Text Fields

    Hello all~

    Wondering how to have a dynamic textfield, with html links, actually just go to another part of the flash movie instead of linking to external pages.

    It's being done on FWA's website:



    If you choose even "open in new window" it still just goes to another part of their website.

    Any help appreciated.

    well 1st tell us how u r making those dynamic textfield at the runtime or u have it on the stage from the starting.

    if u are not making those dynamic textfield on run time then associates it with a mc which will visible at the time of mouse is over that textfield.

    In case if u r making it on run time then use array and give the textfield name related to array value so according to the name of the textfield u can call the value from array to send to its particular page when mouse is over the textfield.

    I'm not sure you understood my question---but thanks anyway. Anyone else?

    what I'm asking is this:

    With dynamic text links in Flash, is it possible to link to other parts of the same Flash movie? I've seen it done on FWA's website, see above pic.

    For example, instead of a getURL opening a new browser window, I want the dynamic text link to tell my movie to "gotoAndStop()" or something like that.

    you just gave yourself the answer...

    instead of making it link like that just make it gotoAndStop(); on a certain frame.
