currently, for my site, i'm using a hybrid of several different tutorials off this site to create a scrolling text window. the text window reads its text from a seperate TXT file, with the text "scrolltext=" in the beginning, and my random text following the equal sign.
it works great, and the text appears non-blurry, which is fantastic. plus, i can make any changes i want to the text, and its instantly reflected on the website, without reworking the FLA file.
however... the text is pretty boring! cant do much with it.
is there anyway that i can make links within the text? like 5 or 10 different links? perhaps, by specifying "url=www.yahoo.com" in the text file?
is there another way to create a scrollable text window, that reads its text from an outisde TXT notepad file, but is able to have links within the text? (only some words as the hyperlinks, not the whole text body itself. and not just one link, but several, to different sites)
thanks!!!

yes, you can use some HTML tags in your text file, so if you want to make links use the <a href="www.whatever.com">your link</a> in the text file (you don't have to make it a HTML file), then in your text box in your scroll text movie assuming it's a dynamic text field check the HTML check box on the right hand side of the textbox options menu and that should work, i just did the same thing yesterday, hope that helps!

Is it a Flash5 only feature, as I can't seem to find it in Flash4? :(

wuhoo! tried and worked!
beautiful, phys. thanks!!
dd, i do believe this is a flash 5-only option. (meaning you need flash 5 to utilize the benefits, as well as the flash 5 plug in to even VIEW the benefits)
