Version: 3DFA 4.9.8.7 exporting to flash 9

Project: website

Problem:

I have a links list, which is a text element.
this uses HTML HREFs to link to other websites when the user passes the pointer over the text. However, in this latest version of 3DFA, HREFS don't work when you export to flash 9!

If I export to flash 8 the links work, but then I can't use real 3D objects in the project.

This is a big problem in 3DFA - what's the use of a flash web editor that won't allow you to place HREF links to other URLS in your HTML???

Please help - I need to go live with this asap.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance.
