Take a Look at my files Please -- Adding LInks to Dynamic Text

[jchiesa]

I have a dynamic text field (scrolling ticker)that loads text from an asp page which loads the text from an access database! I would like to add a link to the text I am loading into flash.

For example:
In flash I load from the database:

Holiday Events | Birthday Parties | Latest News //this is my scrolling ticker

I would like each of these events to have a specific link

Holiday Events (link to HolidayEvents.asp)
Birthday Parties (link to BirthdayParties.asp)
Latest News (link to LatestNews.asp)

what would it be the best way to approach this?

Is this something that it can be done thru the asp code, flash, access, or a combination of all?

Please Advise!

flash will do htmlText and you could just use a regular old a href tag

Thanks for your input...
I have tried that but it is not working... any other alternative?
Did you looked at my files?

[cmbarsotti]

I'm sorry, I didn't look at your file. I supposed I should have before speaking. I'm sorry, I'll do that now.

I can't run the asp file to see it in action, but looking at the AS I notice one thing.

You need to set html to true on the text field and set the .htmlText, not .text, on the text field for html text to work. or hit the "Render as HTML" button.

Thanks, I will try that!
