Karl, Gerry - Thanks, I just tried the code I posted below at home and it works as expected.
I must have done something funky elsewhere in the code with the version at work: when I click on "Our world-class scientists," the event fires, when I click on the movieclip in the textfield it doesn't. In the problematic version, I'm altering the externally loaded text at runtime, inserting an image in places that need a visual indicator for "this text expands". I'm guessing the way I'm doing it doesn't add the event listener to the movieclip because it's not yet been added to the display list. ________________________________________ From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Gerry [noentour...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 8:57 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Capturing TextEvent from image in textfield http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html#event:link On Nov 10, 2009, at 7:47 PM, Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW) wrote: > How do I send an event from a click on an image in a textfield?
