I'm importing text from an external .txt file, and all the tags I use work
great, including the hyperlink tag. However... This tag works beautifully
with simple "http://www.whatever.com" URLs. But when I try to link to a
lengthy URL, like to an Amazon.com purchase page, the displayed text in the
finished SWF stops at the last character before the <a href> tag.

Many thanks in advance for help on this.

I guess you have "&" characters on your amazon.com link and using LoadVars. As
you know in LoadVars every new variable is marked with "&" character. So i
guess your problem is here. Use XML instead of LoadVars to avoid this.

You can also encode an "&" like this %26 then it works correct w/o having to
render as html. Here's a link to all "special characters."

MANY, MANY thanks! XML was a much more efficient option. And the ability to
customize tags...??!! Total time saver when typing the .xml text files.

I really appreciate your help. Thank you again.
