Re: [flexcoders] how to make a hyperlink in text call a function

Nevermind. Just listening for a link event on a mx:Text component works fine even though there is no listed link event for an mx.control.Text object. I would imagine the reason for this is that the event bubbles from the internal textField.

I tried this but I am not sure how to use a TextField in flex. I cant add a TextField to a UIComponent because UIComponent.addChild expects a UIComponent as a parameter. How can I integrate these.

You can accomplish this in Flex 2 by using the TextEvent class:
 
from livedocs:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.TextEvent;  

var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.htmlText = "<a href=''>Click Me.</a>";
tf.addEventListener("link", clickHandler);
addChild(tf);

function clickHandler(e:TextEvent):void {
  trace(e.type); // link
  trace(e.text); // myEvent
}

pass the function name you want to call to the link Event, in this case its clickHandler.

This was accomplished in the previous version of AS using asfunction.
differences between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0:
 
Hope that helps,

I want to have a block of text that executes a function when the user
clicks the hyperlink. Could someone give me an example or point me to
the proper formatting.

Thanks
