hi,

Loading an external file with html links is easy.
Suppose you have a text file with this:

&myText=you can click <a href="http://www.flashkit.com" target="_blank">here</a>.&

This code can be loaded and used in flash:

code:

---

var my_lv = new LoadVars();

my_lv.onLoad = function()

{

	trace(my_txt);

	my_txt.html = true;

	my_txt.htmlText = this.myText;

	trace(this.myText);

};

my_lv.load("external.txt");

---

i.e., the link is clickable.

Hi Nunomira,

By any chance is it possible to attach a mail link in the dynamic text field?
Thanks

&myText=you can <a href="mailto:someone@domain.com">email me</a>.&

Hi,
Hey Nunomira, great post. I've been working my way with that

However, where I come from we have accents (é, Ã*, ù and so on). Using this technique, flash player will output a little square instead of the right caracter.

Usually this means that the caracter isn't available in the font, but I'm using Arial and I know for sure that arial has all the french (err, I mean the jupitorian) caracters.

I tried using the html code for "Ã*"

À

But it got into a conflict with the "&"...

Any idea on how I can do that? I hope it is possible because this is a serious drawback!

Help please!!!

Tks

hi zap danger,

That's very easy.
Read the last line of The data in the text file.
