hi.

i am dynamically generating text inside an HTML text box, and i'd like the assign certain parts of the text hyperlinks that will trigger certain functions that i declare inside flash. any thoughts?

thanks in advance!

How are you dynamically generating it?

 

[adamr1001]

from an xml file.

Use an "a href" tag in your xml.

thanks for link - but then how do i use the href to call a function declared inside my code?

 

[oldnewbie]

Have you had a look at the link?
It's all there!
Simply use the "a href" tag as you would the "b" tag if you wanted your text to be bold.

Sorry, just re-read your question... And the asfunction call is more probably what you're after...
