Thanks for the answers, all. Unfortunately I've only just gotten my hands on CS3, hence the late reply.
>From a little bit of mucking about, it seems possible to use a combination of "a:hover" in CSS, asfunction, and the TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number) function to get close to the desired effect. It looks like a:hover and TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint() don't interfere with each other in any way. I'm working on a function now to somehow correlate the a:hovers and the TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint()s. This whole process seems a little on the clunky side, but really, this TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint() thing is the bee's knees. @Michael William Ypes: Thanks for the link to TextMetrics. It looks like a really useful class. Unfortunately, I am not certain how to apply it to this current problem (where I get a single character's index, then try to work out whether it's enclosed in <a> tags in the greater scheme of things) but can think of about a hundred other uses for it. Thanks again List! Cheers, CB. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
