Hi,
I'm loading a text file into a dynamic text field in my flash file.
I want to link to another website inside that text file but it doesn't work.
The problem seems to be the "http://" at the start of the link address.
For example, this works fine (ignoring the fact that it looks for a file on the server named www.yahoo.com which doesn't exist):
<a href="www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>
But this does not work - it simply does nothing:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com"></a>
It works fine when tested in flash but doesn't seem to like it in internet explorer.
At first I thought that it could have been a problem with my internet explorer settings but now I dont think it is, since if i put the link directly into flash (by creating a button and using actionscript geturl()) rather than loading it dynamically it works fine.
Does anybody have any ideas how I can make this work?
Cheers,
Richard
