Linking text to a URL (horizontal text only) : trouble

[seppli]

G-day everybody

I started yesterday to write a full website in Flash but I am stuck now. I simply would like to link a part of a text to a URL.

I did what's explain in Flash help :
Linking text to a URL (horizontal text only)

1 Use the Text tool to select text in a text block.

2 In the properties Window, enter the URL to which you want to link the text block.

It doesn't work, what happend is for example if I wanted to go to yahoo.com I get the following path :

http://www.mysite.com/mypage/www.yahoo.com

instead of just

http://www.yahoo.com,

so it seems it's adding to the URL where I am the desired one. I am stuck since a while and I would like to move forward, so if I forget to check a box somewhere I will appreciate your help.

try putting http:// before the site name. Like

http://www.yahoo.com.

Flash interprets urls as part of the site unless you put that in there from my experience.
