hyperlink text

[beachin]

I have a text block in flash and I want to hyperlink some text to open a new window. Highlighting the type and adding the url in the text options panel works fine if I want to replace the window. But is there any way to add coding so the hyperlink opens up a new window on top [much like adding a _blank in the window option on a getURL action script]. And to take it a step further, is there a way to add coding similar to when loading a pop up window with action script?

Thanks gurus.

make your text a button and put:

on (release) {
getURL ("www.yoursite.com", "_blank");
}

hope this helps

If you press the html tag on in the text option box it will read html for you and you would need some code. like this...<a href=http://www.yoururl.com">text you want to highlight</a>

and if you have a html ref it would be <a href="the name of page.htm">text you want to highlight</a>

hope that helps
