I'm trying to do pop up windows in a dynamic text file. Some of the links work, and some do not even though the links are fine.
Does anyone about limitations to what can be done with dynamic text, or how to fix this?it's the photography section of http://www.speedoffilm.com
and the txt file is here http://speedoffilm.com/photos.tx…

It seems it may have issues with the brackets or multiple ""..
I would make an XML file , where each node had 2 atributes [URL and title]. I would parse it using the Flash's XML object and construct the text.

thanks, i'll try it. it's just hard because i'm handing it off to someone who has no experience at all, so i want to keep it simple for her.

I might be a little off page here, but the text file is just calling the href of the html page, rather than referring to the javascript for making the popup ?
Cant you have it like..
[a href='javascript:popup('url.html... stuff)']
I think I've got this to work before.I didnt examine the jscript popupper in the page html that closely, but it seemed to be pretty standard..

no, i've changed it now. i'm just going to have that as the temporary solution while i work on an xml page. i did have the javascript for pop ups before, but it would only work on 2 of the 4 links. even after playing with it for quite a while. so i'm just going to leave it like that til i get the xml page set up.
