Thanks guys, I'll look into asfunction
You can definitely have a single textfield with clickable links.
You'll need to use htmlText and use <a href> tags to create the
links. The links should call asfunctions that are defined elsewhere
in the Flash. See "asfunction" in the Help files. I'd also
recommend using CSS for applying decoration and effects to the
links, though you can also just add underlining, bolding, and font
colors directly in the html tags. Here's one example of such a
menu: http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/birds/knowYourBirds (click
"Show List" for the menu).

What is the best way to handle generating a large menu?
What I'm doing currently is looping thru an array and creating a mc
and adding a text feild to it, as you can imagine this craps out on
larger arrays.
I'm sure this is not the preferred way to do something like this and
I'm looking for suggestions.
Is there a way to just have 1 textfield with a list of clickable
items?
Thanks for any help
