highlight words within text box for link instead of whole text box being link

Congrats on 2.5 improvements and your responsiveness.

Today working on a flipchart I did something I typically do, rework the design of a flipchart to match the links I want to incude because I can't easily add a link to one or two words in a text box.

so...request: like in dreamweaver for web pages, I'd like to be able to highlight one or two words in a sentence to create a link to a website or other page rather than have to go out of the text box, click on properties, and make the an entire text box a link; or have a separate text box be a link.

You don't mention if this is Mac or PC. There is an easy workaround with PC using the internal web browser and adding a link as an action object. You may then size the action object to surround whatever words you want to be the link.

I sure hope this option is coming out in AS 3.0 for the Mac. That's such an incredibly easy way to add a weblink!

Another way to achieve this is to type in the text, then create a tranparent block over the word(s) you want to link from and then add the hyperlink to the transparent block.
Once you have done this you can add the block to your toolbar or resource library and drag over other text objects before reassigning the link.
