Jamie,


I haven't found (or heard of) a way to do this.  You can read urls from

a text file into a variable (textfield) in a button in a movieclip and

jump from there, but I don't know of a way to separate them out from a

bunch of other text and make them linkable.  Actually, I can imagine a

way to separate them out by parsing the input string for "<a href, etc"

but they still wouldn't be linkable from the text.  If there's a way,

I'd like to know too -- it would be very useful.
