Douglas,
If this is a true hyperlink in the HTML of the text member, you can just
use the "hyperLinkClicked" event. This is a behavior straight from the
Director help for on hyperLinkClicked:
This behavior shows a link examining the hyperlink that was clicked,
jump to a URL if needed, then output the text of the link itself to the
message window:
property spriteNum
on hyperlinkClicked me, data, range
if data starts "http://"; then
goToNetPage(data)
end if
currentMember = sprite(spriteNum).member
anchorString = currentMember.char[range[1]..range[2]]
put "The hyperlink on"&&anchorString&&"was just clicked."
end
