Problem with flash and text

Hi!
First, I'd like to thank you for your time, and say this forum it's great! I have solved several problems with it!
However, I come to you with a new problem.
A webmaster that has left our company also left a webpage. It's a Flash .swf, loaded in an html.
The content of each menu loads from some small text files that are in the same directory.
Now, the "normal" information that we use works just fine. However, we want to put some urls inside the flash, and, it doesn't let us click on them. It shows them as simple text.
I have tried enclosing them in an <a></a>, <http>, <url>, all to no effect.
Is there a way to put url into this page?

Thanks in advance!

PS: The page in question is URL

Hi, if you select the text box in the flash movie that the text is loaded into you can shoose "html text" as an option. That will do what you want.

You can also do this with dynamically created text boxes via their instance name. i.e. if the text box was called "title" (no quotes) you could use title.html = true;

Thanks for answering, Tann
However, where do I set the title.html = true;?
I don't have the .fla, only the .swf and the texts...on the other hand, I can't click on any text to select text as html... :-(

Hi, sorry totaly missed the fact you dont have the .fla. You could try some of the flash hacking tools that are about, I havent used any so I dont know what to recommend. If the file doesnt have "protect from import" enabled you could make a new movie in flash and then load the old one into it. Then you could change the text var that way i.e. in your new movie, layer 1, keyframe 1 have:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("oldSite", 1);
loadMovie("oldMovie.swf", _root.oldSite);
oldSite.title.html = true;

Hope this helps, its a tricky one!
