How does one go about getting html-looking text in Flash? Underlined links, hover states, etc. I can load an external text file into a text field in flash - but don't know how to do full html style stuff... like the news panels at :

Maybe. While you're here, "can you tell me how to anti-alias text in Flash?"
Sorry - I wasn't meaning to be sarcastic - 'sjust that lot's of people completely forget about HTML, which is galling..

var1 = "The text goes here"
use around your link.. and set the text box to render as html..(its the icon that looks like this )
to turn off antialised you have to embed the font.
via character, button and embed all fonts or some depending

Not sure about how to get an underline if you're using a pixel font though, it works ok when you specify a system font live Verdana or if you use _Sans.
