No, no anchors in dynamic Textfield. I was hoping for the same thing.
What you could do is have a sidebar, or footnote (footbar?), and load the explanations / definitions in there when they are clicked on, using asfunction(). That might be better, as the user's place in the file is not lost. Or pop them up on little scrollable text boxes?
Otherwise you will be trying to simulate this, as others have indicated, and it will never be "right" unless paragraphs are v. regular. Keep in mind that many users find anchors disturbing, when they click the back button to return to the previous page they start backing up through the text.
Hope this has been slightly helpful. Cheers - Miles At 01:12 PM 12/15/2005, Ben Deroo wrote:
Hi, Bit of a problem: I have a dynamic textfield which loads about 10 pages of text externally. Textfield is formatted as html text. In the 10 pages, there are a few dozen "titles", definitions of words ... These titles are all formatted in bold type <b>title1</b>. Is there a way in actionscript to have the text jump up or down with a button from "title" to title? Meaning: titles are always one word, the explanation might sometimes be a few paragraphs, I'd like the user to be able to click on something like a "next" button that would then scroll the text field down to the next title. In Dreamweaver, I would do this with "anchor" tags, but I don't know how to do this in actionscripting Might be simple, might be impossible, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
