RE: [flexcoders] htmlText Bug in Label and UITextField

[Alex Harui]

I think by default those components do not have .selectable=true so
links are inactive off left-click.

Subject: [flexcoders] htmlText Bug in Label and UITextField

 

When I try and embed an html link in the Label and UITextField 
components the link does not work with a left mouse click but the 
right click brings up the link contextMenu. Has anyone else run 
across this problem ? This functionality works correctly in the 
other text controls. 

Here's a simple app that demonstrates the bug and the correct 
behavior of the other text controls.

(event)">

var lblTest:Label = new Label();
lblTest.width = 200;
lblTest.htmlText = "<a href=\"http://www.adobe.com

addChild(lblTest);
