Creating a hypertext link
In the Text inspector, you can turn any selected range of text into a hypertext link that links to a URL or initiates
other actions. Director automatically adds standard hypertext link formatting (blue underlining) to the selected text.
You can turn off this formatting in the Property inspector’s Text tab. For more information, see
Setting text or field
cast member properties
.
The following procedure describes how to add a hypertext link to selected text. To make a hypertext link active, you
must write an
on hyperlinkClicked
event handler. For more information, see the Scripting Reference topics in
the Director Help Panel.
You can enter any string in the Hyperlink text box; it does not have to be a URL. The string can’t contain a double
quotation mark or the script continuation character.

Working with fields
Working with field cast members is similar to working with text. As with text cast members, you edit fields on the
Stage or in a window, and apply formatting with the Text inspector. You can’t apply spacing, tabs, or indents to
individual paragraphs within fields. Alignment settings apply to every paragraph in the field.
