Hi,

I'm using the following actionscript to load an external txt file into a dynamic text box:

Actionscript:

//create new instance of LoadVars object
myData = new LoadVars();
//define callback for onLoad event
myData.onLoad = function(success){
 if (success) {
  //target the window1_mc clip's text fields
  //and inform Flash that data will be html
  content_txt.htmlText = this.content;
 } else {
  //what to do in case of data error
  content_txt.htmlText = "<b>error loading variables</b>";
 }
}
//now load the text file
myData.load("y3/spring/content.txt");
stop();

Everything works fine, apart from a problem I'm having with some simple html in the txt file. I'm just using a simple <a href> tag to create a link, however the link is:

http://www.domain.net/webdav/servlet...s7ag596PwI&POS

This simply doesn't want to work... the imported text when I run the swf just stops where the link should be. If I trim the link down to just http://www.domain.net, it works fine, so obviously Flash doesn't link all the extra stuff after that! The text box is set to render html, and all other html formatting in the txt file works fine.

Anyone got any bright ideas?
