You format the text using html and you are able to use HREF within dynamic
text to link to flash timeline function or regular url outside of flash.

thanks for responding urami!

okay so lets say i want to make teh words 'click here' clickable...how exactly
do i apply the href to them? do i write it within the text itself? and if i
want a new movieclip to open when the words 'click here' are clicked, can i do
that with href?
