I don't think you can override behavior of the internal TextField

My goal is to use the htmlText with a link (via an href in the text), catch the event for the link, but treat the rest of the text as a button in the parent. Also, it's important to keep the mouse pointer as either a arrow or hand. Any suggestions? When I set the properties on the mx:Text with this: mouseChildren="false" buttonMode="true" useHandCursor="true" The events for the LINK aren't raised, and the entire text area is a button. But the mouse pointer is functioning properly However, with the following settings, I get the proper functionality, but the cursor over the text is selectable (and must be to make the Link event fire): mouseChildren="true" buttonMode="false" useHandCursor="true" BTW, I've tried implementing the rolloever/rollout to change the cursor, which it does. But over the mx:Text it still shows the selectable text. Thanks,
