Re: [flexcoders] Hyperlink to an elemment in textarea

Hey thanks for answering Mike. I already have it working that way, but it seems like WAY too much work when all I want to do is call a function and pass some parameters.

Once I saw someone mention the possibility of using the "actionscript:myFunction()" approach, it seemed MUCH cleaner. My problem with the event approach is this - how do I pass parameters?

Here is my current test code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml " layout="absolute" creationComplete="initApp()">

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import flash.text.TextField;
            import flash.events.TextEvent ;

            function initApp() {
                txtArea.htmlText = "Click <a href=''><font color='#0000FF'><u>here</u></font></a> to fire event.";
                txtArea.addEventListener("link", clickHandler);
            }

            public function clickHandler(e:TextEvent):void {
                lstBox.text = e.type + " " + e.text;
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:TextArea x="528" y="96" width="544" height="244" id="txtArea"/>
    <mx:TextArea x="528" y="348" width="544" height="211" id="lstBox"/>

</mx:Application>

Anyone?

THANKS!
-Pat

Use the "event:" protocol for the link, and the text field will dispatch
a TextEvent event.

Pinging this thread. Anyone know how this is done? My searches are
turning up more garbage than gold.

My goal is this: I want an HTML textarea that allows for linking to
other areas in the application. Like a help or quickstart page - they
just click on what they want to do and it runs some actionscript to take
them to the right tag/page/control.

Thanks everyone!

If you use the htmlText property of the textArea, you can use a subset
of html tags, including the <a> tag. The href attribute can be a url
as usual, or it can be "actionscript:myFunction()" (maybe
actionscript:parent.myFunction()) I haven't done this in 2.0 yet so I
don't have a full example.
