Thanks for answering Gregor, but you're mistaken ... it automatically works in Flex, e.g. this code will open the link in the browser by default:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" creationComplete="initView()"> <mx:TextInput id='testInput'/> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ *private* *function* initView():*void * { *this*.testInput.htmlText = *"<a href='http://www.juicability.com'>Juicability, yo</a>"*; } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> .. so there must be something else wrong. It works if we add a link to a button. Have also tried adding event listeners to the textinput component and used links with "event:http://"; in the htmlText-code. The events are never triggered. The thing is we load the swf using a SWFLoader, so I'm thinking it has something to do with security. I've tried adding .trustContent=true + using a new loaderContext like this: * var* ctx:LoaderContext = *new* LoaderContext(*true* ,ApplicationDomain.currentDomain,SecurityDomain.currentDomain); .. aslo didn't change anything. As I said the cursor changes to the hand cursor when hovering over the link, it's just that nothing happens when you click it. - bjorn 2008/10/3 Gregor Kiddie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > You need to look at, > > > http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=textcontrols_04.html#437546 > > It doesn't automatically work in Flex, as the automatic behaviour may be > undesirable. > > You need to have event handlers for the link. > > > > Gk. > > *Gregor Kiddie* > Senior Developer > *INPS* > > Tel: 01382 564343 > > Registered address: The Bread Factory, 1a Broughton Street, London SW8 3QJ > > Registered Number: 1788577 > > Registered in the UK > > Visit our Internet Web site at www.inps.co.uk > > The information in this internet email is confidential and is intended > solely for the addressee.
