Hello. :) Thank you, but I think that will give me the link's text from within the "htmlText" property of the TextField.
What I need are the beginning and ending indexes of the link within the "text" property of the TextField. That is, after the HTML has been rendered into the displayed text. I've thought of finding the index of the TextEvent's "text" property (ie: "block1") within the "htmlText" property of the TextField and using that to determine the indexes, but those indexes would be relative to the TextField's "htmlText" property, rather than it's "text" property. ------------------------------ Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Developer amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 370 King Street West, 5th Floor, Box 4 Toronto Canada M5V 1J9 P (416) 364-1455 ext. 232 F (416) 364-9830 W www.delvinia.com -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Nathan Mynarcik Sent: August 30, 2010 14:35 pm To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Link text indexes in a TextField You will have to cull out what you want: **Psuedo Code** var stuff:String = "[a href="event:block1"]dolor sit[/a]"; stuff.substr(stuff.indexOf("[a href="event:block1"]"), stuff.indexOf("[/a]")); Nathan Mynarcik nat...@mynarcik.com 254.749.2525 www.mynarcik.com On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 1:46 PM, Andrew Murphy <amur...@delvinia.com> wrote: > Hi. :) > > Does anyone know of a way to get the beginning and ending index of a link > within a TextField? > > I want the indexes of the beginning and ending of the text that makes up > the > link.
