With TextField-based text in MX components, I don't think this is easy. You'd probably have to use mouseMove to track the mouse within a TextField and low-level TextFIeld APIs to discover what range of characters the mouse is over.
With TLF in Spark components, I think it is easier because a hyperlink is represented by a LinkElement instance, and it dispatches rollOver and rollOut events. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of stldvd Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 1:25 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Hover Event over Text Hi All, Is there some way in Flex to have an event fire when the cursor hovers over a hyperlink? I don't want to use the TextEvent because that is only relevant to the click event. I need to make something happen when the mouse just hovers over text. Thanks in advance... David
