HTML link in Flex – Listening for the link event in a Flex Label control
Posted on August 21, 2010 | No Comments
I’ve never found the need to have HTML links in Flex behave (and look) like their true HTML counterparts, but a student recently asked how she could get HTML links defined in a Text control to behave like regular HTML links.

var styleSheet:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
styleSheet.setStyle("a:link", { textDecoration: "underline", color: "#30F" });
e.currentTarget.mx_internal::styleSheet = styleSheet;
}
