block. The text remains in the same position on the Stage.

Linking text to a URL (horizontal text

You can link horizontal text to a URL so that users can jump to other files by clicking the text.
To link horizontal text to a URL:
1.
Select some text or a text block. Do one of the following:
■
Use the Text tool to select text in a text block.
■
Use the Selection tool to select a text block on the Stage. This links all the text in the
block to a URL.
2.
If the Property inspector is not already displayed, select Window > Properties.
3. For Link, enter the URL to which you want to link the text block.
Preserving rich text formatting
Flash lets you preserve rich text formatting in input and dynamic text fields. If you select the
Render Text as HTML formatting option in the Property inspector or set the
html
property
of the TextField object to
true
, Flash preserves basic text formatting (such as font, style, color,
and size) and hyperlinks in the text field by automatically applying the corresponding HTML
tags when you export the SWF file. You apply HTML tags to text fields as the value of the
htmlText
property of the TextField object. You must give the text field an instance name to
use the
htmlText
property.
