It may be possible with XPath, using CSS to style your text, so that Flash doesn't muck up your html with TextFormatting tags. You could create and array of the links and split the html into separate textFields contained within a MovieClip in a scrolling pane. Then replace the # hrefs with asfunctions to call a function in your swf that scrolls the position of the referenced textField in the pane.
I've done something similar to that to add keyboard access to links in textFields. This may help get you going down that path: http://www.majordan.net/test/flashlinks/ -- Michael -----Original Message----- From: Sajid Saiyed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 1:33 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] named anchor with dynamic text field - Possible?
