Loading variables from txt document

[ChiefDesigns]

Ok in my flash movie I am loading variables from an external text file for my text areas.

Example: &about_txt1=text that I want in box

The problem is I want to include links inside the text areas that control my movie. Is there any way to do this? The flash movie is a website if that matters. I am using flash mx 2004.

Here is the code that I would use to run the link if I created a button inside the flash movie, instead of through the text areas:
on(release) {
_parent._parent.menu["item" + _root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link=7;
_root.main.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
