In order to catch ALL attempts to open a new window from both html <a href="" target="_blank"...> and javascript:window.open(...
you will need to look into the HTMLHost class. Every HTML control in Flex has a property htmlHost, but you can give it your own instead. Then just override this method: override public function createWindow (windowCreateOptions:HTMLWindowCreateOptions):HTMLLoader and return the htmlLoader of the html control in your new tab. For links in html that open in the same window, everything functions as normal and you should not need to do any link parsing ( link parsing won't work anyways because it could be ajax and the link could be written later ... or it could be javascript which you can't control ) If you want to see a working version of this, join, download, install socialu at socialu.com Cheers, Jesse --- In [email protected], "kyleashipley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm writing a wrapper around the core Flex HTML engine to add tabbed > browsing.
