Making text link to a web page from within scroller

Post by MaxDangerMouse » Sun Jul 24, 2011 10:34 am

Hi Everyone,

I'm going great with a project I've been working on for a bit now and just have one last hurdle...

I've got text within a scroller. In parts of that text (where there's a URL or email address) I'd like to make it clickable and have an action performed - obviously open a web page or email to send.

Doing this from a standard button is a breeze, but is there a way to do it from within a text field?

Thanks
Max

Hi Max,

check "link", "linktext" and "linkclicked" in the dictionary!


Best

Klaus

Thanks Klaus,

I feel like an idiot for missing that. Made it real easy.

Thanks again.

Max
