Ah. I had mouseChildren=true. Must have misread the page I got it
from.
Is there any way to do this in css, so I can have a style that makes
anything into a link? The following sets the color, but doesn't force
the hand cursor:
<mx:Style>
.link
{
color: blue;
useHandCursor: true;
buttonMode: true;
mouseChildren: false;
}
</mx:Style>
<mx:Text text="hello" styleName="link"/>
Or do I have to subclass mx:Text?
