Putting an ACTION on a <p> or and <a> in a HTMLText field 1

[timtom]

Hi everyone,
I'm building a long scrolling dynamic text field like this...

artistlist.htmlText="<P><A HREF='

http://www.cnn.com'>"+arrArtist

+"</A></P>"+artistlist.htmlText;

But I'd like to call ACTIONSCRIPT from each of the lines in my text field - rather than an HREF like in my example. Does anyone know if this is possible inside a dynamic text field? Or do I have to make dynamic buttons and put them inside a scrollpane?

Cheers for any help you can give me,
Sarah

You can use the asfunction in the same manner...

<A HREF="asfunction:gotoFrame,5">Frame 5</A>

Then have a function in Flash called gotoFrame...

function gotoFrame(num) {
gotoAndPlay(num);
}

Ah that's great oldnewbie - exactly what I needed and I have now implemented.

Thanks a lot for your help.
