You can use html markup. See flash.text.TextField for the subset of html tags it uses.

There were a couple of threads a while ago about the same thing and there wasn't a real solution on this but I might be imagining things and be wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: natjai<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008 8:28 PM Subject: [flexcoders] text markup - please help Hello, I have a text paragraph (dynamic content) which contain certain words (need to be underlined) that need to respond to mouseover (or click) that pops open a datagrid/list. I can imagine constructing the paragraph with bunch of dynamically positioned textfields (some of which) that respond to mouse over/click. Is there a better way (like html markup text) I apologize if this is not a flexish issue and hence doesn't belong here. Thanks for any response, -jlogan
