I am reading an external text file and putting some of the text into a text cast member. I would like to use html formating and have hyperlinks show - with a mouseover hand, etc. - and automatically launch a browser from my projector (the executable will be distributed on a DVD-ROM). The hyperlink formating does not show; nor do I know how to set up my project so that it detects the default browser on the user's computer. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

You don't need to specify the default browser. Just place this MovieScript:

Code:
on hyperlinkClicked(me, data, range)
if offset("[URL unfurl="true"]http://",[/URL] data) then
gotoNetPage(data)

Thank you. I attached the above behavior to the sprite of my text cast member.
What I am trying to do is to pull up, based on choices I click on a menu, different html files residing on my hard drive into my text cast member. I use the command member("whatever").filename=<filename>
This is, apparently, not working because the hyperlinkclicked handler is not being called. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. How can I get my links to work when I pull in external linked html files into a text cast member?

I just tested it and works fine. Do you need a code example?

Create a new movie in 320 x 240. Then put this in the frame 1:
Create a HTML file called "external.htm" and place next to the DIR file:
Create a Movie Script, then run the movie:

Code:
on exitFrame(me)
_movie.go(_movie.frame)
end exitFrame
Code:
<html>
<head></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Thank you. I attached the above <a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/">behavior</a>[/URL] to the sprite of my text cast member.
</body>
</html>
Code:
on prepareMovie()
mem = new(#text)
mem.fileName = _movie.path & "external.htm"
mem.name = "externalHTML"
mem.width = 300
end prepareMovie
on startMovie()
channel(1).makeScriptedSprite(member("externalHTML", "UI"), point(10, 10))
end startMovie
on stopMovie()
channel(1).removeScriptedSprite()
member("externalHTML").erase()
end stopMovie
