making text into a hyperlink
hello all,
i have made this scrolling application and i want some of the text being called from sample.txt to have a hyperlink attached. any ideas?
Thank you.
Code:
//--------------loading external text and display it---------
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sample.txt");
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
textLoader.load(textRequest);
textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,fileLoaded);
function fileLoaded(event:Event):void {
text_field.text = event.target.data;
text_field.wordWrap = true;
}
//------------------make buttons to scroll the loaded text-------
var scrolling:Boolean = false;
var scrollDirection:String;
scrollDown.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,scrollTextDown);
scrollUp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,scrollTextUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopScroll);
function scrollTextDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
scrolling = true;
scrollDirection = "down";
text_field.scrollV +=1;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkButtons);
}
function scrollTextUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
scrolling = true;
scrollDirection = "up";
text_field.scrollV -=1;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkButtons);
}
function stopScroll(event:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkButtons);
scrolling = false;
}
//---------ckecking to see if buttons are pressed-----------
function checkButtons(event:Event):void {
if (scrolling) {
if (scrollDirection =="down") {
text_field.scrollV +=1;
} else if (scrollDirection == "up") {
text_field.scrollV -=1;
}
}
}
