Hi,

I'm probably underestimating you, but I think the example might just confuse things more. Let me see if I can clarify things.

1. I'm starting with an xml file.
Here's a section of it (with the definition shortened)
In this example, I needed to create a link from 49CFR 195.50:

<word>
<term>Accident</term>
<definition><![CDATA[Specific criteria defining events that are considered accidents are contained in <a href="asfunction:L19550">49CFR 195.50</a>.]]></definition>
<image>accident.jpg</image>
</word>

I couldn't just use the <a href=> tag to define the link from 49CFR 195.50 because the url is more than 127 characters.

So, I created a function called L19550 (in the first frame of my movie):

function L19550() {
getURL("http://urlThatGoesOnForever.htm");
}

Calling this function from the xml file works perfectly.

What I'd like to do is include something like <font color=blue> within the function along with the getURL.

There are only 6 or 8 functions, but I need to call these functions over a thousand times. I have to call the function to get the link to work. If I could define the font color within each function, I could avoid having to also add font tags to all of the links.

Thanks again,
Debbie
