Ok, I have tried to search the forums for help, to no avail.

I received a .doc file which contains both regular text and linked words. Converted it to.txt format. And of course it lost all the hyperlinking.

In the .doc file, I have the words 'Google' in blue, as a link. When pressed from the .txt file itself, it automatically opens a browser window to http://www.google.com. Ie, it is hyperlinked in the .txt file itself.

There are like almost 100 links sytled in this format in said .txt file.

How do I transfer this into a dynamic textbox, for it appear just like that?
(word 'google', press to open browser at google.com)

I have attached a copy of the .txt file (now sans hyperlinks), and I want to recreate exactly that in a dynamic text box in my flash movie, and have it scroll via scrollbar (not component). I hyave enabled the 'render as HTML' option, and it just displays the text as is, without the embedded hyperlinks.

Do I have to recreate this all manually, with buttons for each link? (I hope not) ..

Thanks.

You need to add "a href" tags to all your links in the text file...
