Wally Use the HTMLText property and listen for the link event. The following example should help (Note that I am not good with Style Sheets so there is probably a better way of styling the links):
<?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; creationComplete="onCreationComplete()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flash.events.TextEvent; import mx.controls.Alert; private var hoverStyles:String = "a:hover { color: #00ffff; text-decoration: underline; } a { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; }"; private function onCreationComplete():void { theTextArea.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, onLinkClick); var ss:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet(); ss.parseCSS(hoverStyles); theTextArea.styleSheet = ss; } private function onLinkClick(event:TextEvent):void { switch(event.text) { case "codeEvent": Alert.show("Show the CODE Window."); break; case "partialTimeEvent": Alert.show("Show the PARTIAL TIME Window."); break; } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Panel title="TextArea Control Example" height="75%" width="75%" paddingTop="10" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10"> <mx:TextArea id="theTextArea" width="500" height="200"> <mx:htmlText> <![CDATA[Please record your hours by typing them in the corresponding day. Also include the appropriate code behind the number of hours (for example, 8 REG). Re-check for accuracy and submit at appropriate time. The <a href="event:codeEvent">CODE</a> and <a href="event:partialTimeEvent">PARTIAL TIME</a> descriptions will open in a new window. Place any comments or clarifications in the comment box.]]> </mx:htmlText> </mx:TextArea> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> I pretty much cobbled this together from: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/TextArea.html#event\ :link and http://www.flexafterdark.com/docs/Flex-HtmlText HTH Steve --- In [email protected], "Wally Kolcz" <wko...@...> wrote: > > I have text on one of my applications that has 2 hyperlinks (CODE and PARTIAL TIME) that needs to pop a window the PopUpManager.
