[flexcoders] Re: Dumb Newbie Question - Underlined Hyperlinks
So this is interesting, You could enhance this snippet to put a
tag around many links in a longer textfile like
private var someHTMLText:String = "This is http://somewhere";>first link and http://overthere";>second link. And now some more text.";
public function rollOverLinks():void{
ti.htmlText=parseAndUnderline(someHTMLText);
}
public function rollOutLinks():void{
ti.htmlText= someHTMLText;
}
private function parseAndUnderline:String(textToParse:String) {
// do parsing, find hyperlinks and underline them here
}
If You encapsulate this in a custom component, You just would bind
Your text to the component and it would work like a standard Text
component and behave as expected.
Nevertheless I would like to have a RichHTMLText component which
supports CSS 2.0.

This is what Adobe support had to say (btw, wow, they answer feature
requests! cool!):

[flexcoders] Re: Dumb Newbie Question - Underlined Hyperlinks
>... no flippin way to specify the links in a TextArea to be blue.
I have the same problem with external stylesheets. In Flex 1.5 there
was a way to attach a:hover, a:link style from an external stylesheet
to a TextField (this is not a TextArea!) with:
var textField:TextField;
var styles = new TextField.StyleSheet();
styles.load('myStyles.css');
...
public function onLoad(success):Void{
if(success){
textField.htmlText = "hello world";
textField.styleSheet = styles;
}
}
But now in 2.0 I can't find a good solution too. 'StyleSheet' has
become a 'stand-alone' class. The 'load()' function is gone, instead
there is a function 'parseCSS()'. I can't get it to work properly:
private var cssSource:String =
'myTest{color:"#ff";}a:hover{color:"#00FF00";text-decoration:"underline";}body{fontFamily:"ThesisBolPla";size:"11";color:"#FF";}.heading{fontWeight:"bold";color:"#FF3300";}';
private var labelText:String = "Hello
worldand welcome to the show.
This is gonna be the arkText component";
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
style.parseCSS(cssSource);
label = new TextField();
label.width = 200;
label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
label.embedFonts = true;
label.background = true;
label.border = true;
label.multiline = true;
label.styleSheet = style;
...
label.htmlText = labelText;
What works fine on TextFields is:
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var aHover:Object = new Object();
aHover.color="#FFCC33";
aHover.textDecoration = "underline";
style.setStyle("a:hover", aHover);
label = new TextField();
label.width = 200;
label.background = true;
label.multiline = true;
label.styleSheet = style;
But you want to load a css externally and you want to use a TextArea.
I have asked this also to Matt Horn from Adobe, but he hadn't the
slightest idea how to solve this...

[flexcoders] Re: Dumb Newbie Question - Underlined Hyperlinks
I hate myself for this, but: var link:String = "View Listing"; I can't find a way to change the link color through an external CSS file though, and it's killing me. You have to define the class like a DOM object and there's no flippin way to specify the links in a TextArea to be blue. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
