flash data integration: Took a look at your link and saw it. Not sure if this is a known bug.
Dynamic TextFields will try your patience in Flash when you need to get
fancy.

Be sure the CSS and HTML inside the TextField is not malformed -- run it
through a validator such as in DW.

You can also in test movie see how the HTML is "reconsituted" by selecting
Debug and List Variables or List Objects and find the TextField. You might
see some HTML conflict.

You might want to post this in the Flash or Flash Actionscript forums where
you might find more folks familar with TextField formatting issues.

Hey all,

Old skool developer here just got back into Flash after abandoning it for
various issues. Seems like the first thing I try is giving trouble. I link
and
external HTML file using a CSS into a dynamic text field which works quite
well. HOWEVER, if content that is linked ( <a></a> ) ends up near the edge
of
the text field and wraps to the next line, Flash gets confused and the
cursor
changes to the hand when it's not even over the text and displays
erratically,
if at all over the link. I screwed with different code options but nothing
worked. I simply changed the size of the text box and the same problem.
Tried
it with other people's code...same thing. If I force a break with a <br> it
seems OK, but as if anyone can do this. What's the point in dynamic content
then? I've posted one SWF here:

http://www.istop.com/~jsankey/myCSS_2.swf

The lower text box has been fixed with a <br>. The top one hasn't, and
you'll
notice you get the hand cursor after the word "visit" where there is no link
at
all. The .fla is there as well under the same name.
