[F8] links in external txt file????

[Heirattic]

i have a plain text info.txt file being loaded into my site. it simple has contact info. my question is how to i link the email addresses and website so that they are active links?

I tried <a href="http://……"> </a> but I think that only works in html - this is just .txt

please help.

you need to specify a text field the handles html formatted text. when you've loaded the info from the external file as a string in a flash, write the following

	myTextField.htmlText = textString

The text may not display properly depending on what font you use. I suggest using a stanard web font like arial or tahoma and setting the field to "use device fonts". if the text is to be animated masked or filtered you will have to embed the fonts for them to display properly.
