Good morning.
I came up with a solution, it's not elegant but it works:
1) Break up the HTML into an array of chunks of code based on where the
links occour. So this:
[p]Lorem ipsum [a href="event:block1"]dolor sit[/a] amet.[/p]
Gets turned into this:
blocks[0] = [p]Lorem ipsum
blocks[0] = [a href="event:block1"]dolor sit[/a]
blocks[0] = amet.[/p]
2) Go through that array of chunks, concatenating each chunk with the chunks
before it and plugging the results into the TextField. Force it to render
(validateNow();) each time and use the previous and current "length" of the
"text" property to determine the beginning and ending indices of each chunk.
3) For any chunks containing a link, save the link's URL and indices into an
array. ie:
link_props[0] = {name:block1, begin:12, end:21}
4) When a link is clicked use the "text" property of the TextEvent.LINK
event to get at the indices for that link in the array.
Thank you for helping. :)
