scrolling text box and ability to control movie clips

[aamaker]

I have a scrolling text box in my newly created movie... I am intrested in controlling a movie clip from specific words/links in this text body.

I cant figure it out though.

Heres the tutorial on scrolling text I used.

Heres the code Im using in a frame action that I'd also need to be (somehow) triggered via a link in the scrolling text box:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 2);
loadMovie("video/video_test.swf", "container");
container._x = 660;
container._y = 61;

You would use "a href" tags (your text would have to be html enabled...), calling asfuctions (functions defined on the first frame of your movie...), which in turn would execute any other action or series of actions...
