I have to agree with Carl, what's te point of having a URL feature in the RTE, if you don't intend browsing somewhere...
The only solution I have - I have the same issue - is manipulating the htmlText content by putting <u>nderline and <font> tags around the <A>nchortags Here is a little tool to exchange HTML from RTE with plaintext..it allows to send back and forth so you can see what works and what doesn't...styles don't ;-) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " layout="absolute"> <mx:RichTextEditor x="10" y="10" id="rtf"> </mx:RichTextEditor> <mx:Button x="343" y="9" label=">>" click="txt.text=rtf.htmlText"/> <mx:TextArea x="391" y="10" width="325" height="300" id="txt" wordWrap="true"/> <mx:Button x="343" y="288" label="<<" click="rtf.htmlText=txt.text"/> </mx:Application> Iko --- In [email protected], "carl_steinhilber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > While I understand what you're saying, Alex, that's just not a valid > answer. > > I realize that HTML support is not very advanced in Flex.
