Hi, In addition to what Glen said, I suggest that you refer to this post here: http://troyworks.com/blog/2008/03/14/flash-textfield-actionscript-hyperlink-in-as30/
It's mentioned there that rollovers can be detected using TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number). Although you can use CSS to change links during "hover" it doesn't dispatch an event for you listen to.
