Hi all!

I have a page with a dynamic text field that pull some content
and in the content is a standard html link

<a
href="http://www.somewhere.com?param=abcdefghisdfpoiweporei&more=blah&blah=b
lah">link</a>

As you can see the url to the link is very long.
When you click on the link, it opens a page, but doesn't carry all of the
characters and cuts the link to 128 characters.

Any workaround? Please advice.

Thank yout!

Sigh, I see that it has been a year since your original post and yet you do not
have your answer. I find myself in the same position. I have long links and
yet Flash is unable to handle characters after 128. Its sad really. It looks
like 8 has the same problem. SO WHEN THE HECK IS MACROMEDIA GOING TO FIX THIS
PROBLEM?

How frustrating. I would be grateful if anyone had an answer to this problem.

Thanks
:-(

Okay, I've found the answer to my question. I googled all day yesterday
looking for my answer and I didn't find anything to help me. While playing
with the "XHTML TableRender" I found my answer. What "SatishkumarB " stated
above is half of the answer, the other half is to convert your HTML links to
use "asfunction". asfunction enables you to create links that make call-backs
to a Flash function.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance of asfunction. I've been a developer for
over 15 years, but the project I'm working on is my first Flash front-ended
project.

Thanks SatishkumarB for triggering and idea that helped to direct my research.

Do you face the same problem with getURL too? If not, you can have a separate function calling getURL and from the link you can call that function,
Thanks & Regards,
