Just a quick one:

Is there any way to set an action to a small section of text in Flash? Not a whole text box, just a few words in a paragraph. Basically I just want the user to be able to click on some words to be taken to another frame.

It's damn easy to make some text a link to a URL, so surely there would be a similar way to use a goto frame action? I don't want to convert just a few words into a symbol just for the purposes of this text link.

Hopefully that made sense! Seems like such a basic feature to want - yet I can't nut it out (other than placing said text into a separate text box, which seems so useless).

I'm using MX, not 2004. Thanks!

Example:-

<A HREF="asfunction:gotoAndPlay(foo)">Activate Function</A>

Enjoy!

Cheers! I can't believe I never knew you could use actionscript in standard html links, that will be bloody handy!
