1) Enter your text & gotoNetPage parameters in a Field Member (not a TEXT member) 2) Attach the FieldSlinky Behavior to the Sprite. 3: Add the startMovie & stopMovie instructions to your startMovie & stopMovie scripts. on startMovie sendAllSprites (#prepList) end startMovie on stopMovie sendAllSprites (#restoreText) end stopMovie 4) Create a field member named "format". Type "new link", type RETURN, type "visited link". Select line 1 and assign it the color in which you want new links to appear. Select line 2 and assign it the color in which you want visited links to appear. This field MUST be named "format". NOTE: On startMovie, this behavior changes the text you have input into the field. On stopMovie, the text is restored. However, I recommend making a backup copy of the text field BEFORE running this behavior
