AIM:To create a searchable list with words on so that when you click on that word it takes you to a screen with a picture of that words ie list apple, orange, pear, banana and when you type in o the list moved to orange then when you click on orange it shows you a picture of an orange.

I have a list which scrolls and i want to be able to click on a word in the list and go to either a)a different scene and to a named frame. Or b) to a html file (created in dreamweaver)

The goto and play doesnt seem to work with this list (not included in this script I have pasted here)... can anyone help?

There are three scripts within the one scene: (Please excuse the scripters comments but I didnt want to delete incase I accidentally took out something important)

FIRST SCRIPT (Containing the links section of which the links included dont work - syntax error?))

SECOND SCRIPT

// ----------------------------------------------
// How many links?
// ----------------------------------------------
n = 1;
while (length (eval("link" add n))>1) {

// Alphabetical Sort

if (/:alphabetize) {
// ----------------------------------------------
// EXPLANATION: we need 2 counters for this sort. (c and d). We start at the first item. We check if it is greater than the one in the position after it. It it is, it's in the wrong place, and we swap the two items. We do this all the way to the end of the list. THEN, we go back and star again, but since we already know the last item in the list is in its correct place now, we don't check that one any more. Each time through the sort, one more item is in its correct place. So we sort through fewer and fewer items. As you can imagine, this leads to Thousands of calculations. Since Flash 4 has a built-in 200,000 limit, we run in to a problem at somewhere over 160 items...
