If you're using Flash MX (I'm not sure if this works in earlier versions),
you can use "asfunction". So if your function is named "myFunction" then
you would put the following into the link field:
asfunction:myFunction
You can also pass arguments, if you'd like:
asfunction:myFunction, arg1, arg2
So you could set up a function that always passes arg1 out as Lingo through
the getURL command, for example.

Subject: <lingo-l> Flash text box link not triggering Director behavior
