HTML/CSS support in Flash/Flex has always been limited. We're just not a browser.
You can style anchor tags, but not in editable controls. If you don't need editability, use Text instead of RichTextEditor and set htmlText and a styleSheet (not styleName). Try to follow the example in the doc for flash.text.TextField.htmlText. -Alex ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of carl_steinhilber Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 3:02 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Can't I style an anchor in a RichTextEditor?? I've tried various techniques that I picked up on the web, but can't seem to apply a style specifically to the anchor links in a RichTextEditor. Basically, I want a style like: .myRTETextAreaStyle A { color:#0000ff; text-decoration:underline; } but I'm not having much luck. I tried setting myRTE.textArea.styleName="myRTETextAreaStyle"; in creationComplete. I tried creating a stylesheet on the fly using the StyleSheet object, CSSStyleDeclaration, and the StyleManager. I (first) tried simply declaring the style in an mx:Style block. Nothing seems to work. And for the life of my I can't understand why the RTE doesn't do it by default out of the box. Under what earthly circumstance would NOT differenciating a link from the rest of the text in an RTE be intuitive?? Ah well... c'est l'vie. Anyone know how to make it work after the fact? Thanks in advance! -Carl
