Re: [Flashcoders] Hyperlinks in HTML Enabled Text Field: Accessible?
majordan, Thanks a ton! While I was hoping for some magical switch I could flick for this ;-), this solution works well, though it took me forever to get working in an AS2 Class file. I need to make another pass at my solution, but can share the class if you have any interest. Again, thanks for the help! Jer On 4/3/07, Michael A.

I think I've coded myself into a corner on this, but I'm hoping someone's either found a solution or knows first hand that I'm out of luck. The project I'm working on requires that the user/developer of the swf be able to supply a blurb of text with a list of 1 to n links (text and url). My swf needs to suck in this information from a text/xml file and display it all pretty like and be accessible using keyboard only navigation (this is a tiny part of a larger app). I thought the obvious way to do this would be with an HTML enabled TextField. The user's could type up a simple text file with HTML text and hyperlinks -- HTML is accessible right? I'm hoping I'm missing something stupid here that needs to be done to allow me to move focus to the hyperlink in the TextField to allow the user to follow the link. Am I hopelessly out of luck?
