And I think it could be extended to get the link's start/end position. Have a look at the 'detectMouseOver' function - could be a good starting point... - karim On 30 Aug 2010, at 19:47, Andrew Murphy wrote: > 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.
