    Default Dynamic text links to frames?

    Does anyone know how to make a link in a dynamic text box go to another frame
    in the timeline instead on an external URL? I will love you forever if you do.

    I've been cheating by doing symbols underneath my text up until now and having
    them "goto" a frame but it doesn't work with dynamic text fields that scroll.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    you just need to specify a target like below:

    val="<a href='http://www.yahoo.com' target='_blank'>hi</a>"

    Specifying the target you mentioned will open up an external URL. I want to make a link to go to another frame in the timeline within the .swf file itself.

    Any other ideas???

    easy way: put a movieclip on top of that text field, put the alpha to 0
    add a listner for the movieclip.

    compare the variables: eg....

    if(textbox1.text == "bob" && textbox2.text =="whatever"){
    gotoAndStop("framelabel/ or frame number);
    }

    the above is just comparing if both statements are true, you can also use this method for a million things example:

    if(textbox.text == "bob" && mouseX > 5){
    do what ever you want();
    }
