Re: [flexcoders] how to make a hyperlink in text call a function

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 06:17:39 -0700

You can accomplish this in Flex 2 by using the TextEvent class:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/events/TextEvent.html
 
from livedocs:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.TextEvent;  

var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.htmlText = "<a href=''>Click Me.</a>";
tf.addEventListener("link", clickHandler);
addChild(tf);

function clickHandler(e:TextEvent):void {
  trace(e.type); // link
  trace(e.text); // myEvent
}

pass the function name you want to call to the link Event, in this case its clickHandler.

This was accomplished in the previous version of AS using asfunction.
differences between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0:

Hope that helps,

I want to have a block of text that executes a function when the user
clicks the hyperlink. Could someone give me an example or point me to
the proper formatting.

Thanks
