Imagine a string of htmlText, let's have it say "Click here to jump around." Now, on the word “here” there needs to be an anchor tag that…wait for it…runs a piece of Actionscript that's within the same .swf. Perhaps a simple function that just launches a trace message. I've tried everything I can think of and this is such a specific topic it's difficult to find information on it. Do you have any ideas on the topic?

hey josh,
it goes a little something like this:
this.createTextField("tf", 0, 100, 100, 200, 20);
tf.html = true;
tf.htmlText = "Click <A HREF='asfunction:displayMsg,hello world'>here</A> to jump around";
function displayMsg (msg) {
trace(msg);
}
more info on page 1001 of your copy of asdg2. (it's actually listed in the index under "hypertext links, calling ActionScript functions from).
