Many thanks to Sean! That was it, and the following trick revives the
stillborn hyperlink:
OrigMember = sprite(me.spriteNum).member
DummyMember = duplicate(OrigMember)
sprite(me.spriteNum).member = DummyMember
sprite(me.spriteNum).member = OrigMember
The nature of the bug is that when a new hyperlink is created in a text
member that previously had no hyperlinks, the newly created hyperlink has
the hyperlink styles, but does not function as one. The situation is
resolved by switching the member back and forth, above.
Phew! And I thought I'll have to run away and join the circus.
