link from text file not working 1

[decibelle]

I am displaying text from an external .txt file. There is a link that does not work for some reason and I can't figure out why. your humble expertise please?

1. here's the url i'm trying to link to:
<A HREF="

http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/film.php?directoryname=balletsrusses&mode=downloads">

For hi-res photos and a press kit please click here</A>

NOTE** any text above this tag is displayed, but any text below, including the link above is *not* displayed. So I think that maybe it's not recognizing part of the url and therefore ignores that part and the rest of the text file?

2. As a temporary workaround, I shortened the url up to the part where i found stopped working. See below. So it looks like it's not recognizing the '&mode=downloads' part of the url

<A HREF="

http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/film.php?directoryname=balletsrusses">

For hi-res photos and a press kit please click here</A>

Is there any way I can link to the full url in # 1 above instead of this workaround?

Thanks so much for your help!

i suspect that flash is reading the & in the url as the start of a new variable

try replacing with %26
