Movie has two text fields, the left one is named txtHeads and is filled with lines like this:

<a href="asfunction:addStory, _root.arrStorys[6]"> <b>BRUCE CLARKE'S SON<br />COPS A SECURITIES ACT PLEA</b></a><br><br>

When "BRUCE CLARKE'S SON<br />COPS A SECURITIES ACT PLEA", asfunction should be calling addStory,
as follows:

function addStory(stryElement:String){
// assign contents of passed array element to text control. Dummy names are used.
        _root.txtNews.text = stryElement;
}

addStory() does not fire when the link is clicked on. When a trace was placed in it, nothing showed up in the output window.

Where am I going wrong? I have used the same technique to load external files, why not from an array that's global to the entire movie?
