Highlight Links in Dynamic Text Box?

[tyleri]

I have dynamic text boxes as part of a menu system with the text of these dynamic text boxes originating from a text file on the server. I am using HTML in this text file so I have a lot of <a href> links. When viewed in flash, how would I make the links change color when I mouse-over them?

The way it is set up now, the only way a user would know it was a link is if they noticed the mouse cursor change, but I don't think that is good enough. Anybody have any suggestions about this?

The only way so could presently indicate that it's a link is by underlining that text!
The <U> tag is one of the few tags (from html 1.0) supported by Flash. You can set a different color than the rest of your text but won't be able to change it on mouseover.
Use something like this:

'<A HREF=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.homedepot.com/&quot;><U>Home[/URL] Depot</U></A><BR>'

Note: no linebreaks in the above.

Check this for other supported tags:
