trigger script with a link in a text field

[Lifeforce]

is it possible? if so, how?

Do a search on "asfunction" ;)

[Lifeforce]

Yea, its an undocumented command.

i can't get it to work using this test code...



function test(){
trace("hi");
}
createEmptyMovieClip("foo",1);
foo.createTextField("hi_txt",1,0,0,120,20);
foo.hi_txt.html=true;
foo.hi_txt.htmlText = "<a href=\"asfunction:test\">click</a>";


nothing happens when I click on "click". Any help?

Eric - The sample function of the AS Dictionary works, but don't forget to set the HTML property to true :)

Lifeforce - Your code seems correct to me ... make sure you don't have any other objects on depth 1. That most likely causes the error. Set the depth to 9682 or something to make sure there is no other object with that depth.

****, I'm 99% sure I did that .. maybe with wrong typecase or something, cause I have FlashMX04 :)

Weird .. but not worthy enough to break my brain on ...

Then it should certainly work. I tried it and it works flawless.


this.createTextField("txt", 1, 100, 100, 200, 20);
function MyFunc(arg) {
trace("You clicked me!Argument was "+arg);
}
txt.html = 1;
txt.htmlText = "<A HREF=\"asfunction:MyFunc,Foo \">Click Me!</A>";

*Don't edit your post that fast ! :P Anyways, an example never hurts.
