[jess]

Hi All,
Not sure if this sounds a bit stupid but am totally stumped and only have a couple of days left now to find a solution, you guys are my only hope!!
I have used the following 'scrolling text box';
onClipEvent (load){

daTextBox = "<P ALIGN=\"LEFT\">
<b>NAME OF PARTS................................6<br>
STANDARD ACCESSORIES.....................8<br>
STITCH PATTERNS..............................9<br><br>
POWER & LIGHT SWITCH....................10<br>
SELECTING THE STITCH PATTERN..........10<br>
SEWING ADVISOR LCD FUNCTIONS........10<br>
PRESSER FOOT LIFTER.......................11<br>
STITCH WIDTH ADJUSTMENT DIAL.........11<br>
STITCH LENGTH ADJUSTMENT DIAL........11</b>";

scrolling = 0;
frameCounter = 1;
speedFactor = 3;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame){

if( frameCounter % speedFactor == 0){

if( scrolling == "up" && daTextBox.scroll > 1){

daTextBox.scroll--;

}


else if( scrolling == "down" && daTextBox.scroll < daTextBox.maxscroll){

daTextBox.scroll++;

}

frameCounter = 0;
}

frameCounter++;
}
- as shown on the tutorials of this site.. HOWEVER I now need each item to 'LINK' to another section of the site!!?? Is this possible at all??? Thank you so much for taking the time to even read me!! Any help welcome!

Hi...

I don't quite understand this, 'another section of the site'... are you talking about going to another frame label or calling another html file or something else???
At any rate, you can set the content of your text field like this...
<A HREF=\"http://www.domainname.com\">NAME OF PARTS................................6</A><br>
After that you can just change the http part to call what you want...

hi Jason!
Thank you for replying. I tried that first and generator picked it up as an error. It seems ok to use the HTML term for line breaks etc. but not links. The links need to Goto an external HTML file. do you know of any other way??
Many thanx,
Jess x

Admittedly I've never used generator but I don't understand why you are getting an error using <a href> </a>
It should work just fine. What error is it that you are getting?

> YES!! that IS the one!!!???

Hm... if it IS the right one, I will have to charge you for that... Wire me 2 cents!!! :p

> Now I'm really confused!!! why won't mine work??

If you click on the Disk icon, you would be able to download the source file I used for that... Check and see what the difference is...
Maybe there was some problem with Generator thing which I haven't SEEN one at all... and MM doesn't have any demo for that either... hehe... What did the Generator say when you used it???

> I shall keep playing with it and keep you posted!

Yup... let us know... and good luck... :)

> (Maybe my machine can just sense that I'm having a bad day and

Hey... Life is short... Be happy!!!

> is enjoying making it worse, hey?..hmm maybe not!)

If it is the case, you can send me the computer so that I could do some thing with it... hehe... :p
