how can I define a CSS style for html hyperlinks inside a mx|Label component such as a, a:link, a:hover and a:active ?

I have an <mx:HTML/> component in my flex air app that shows a web page. The problem is, if the web page has a link on it and they click it, it does not take them to that page. Is there a way to allow this, or a work around? is there a way for the loaded webpage to send Flex info about events that occur in it?Here is my code:
<mx:HTML
id="html"
width="100%"

I am using Flex 4 with Spark components to build a mobile application and I have a HGroup that I am using to contain all of my elements. When the screen loads it pulls in a small amount of text that will be displayed and loops through all the words to see if any of them are a keyword. While it is looping I am putting each word into its own label element and if the word is a keyword it changes a few styles and adds a click event to show a description about the word.Everything runs fine but when everything is appended to the HGroup, there ends up being only one line and most of the text completely cut off because it will not wrap the content.My Question is - Is there a way to set or extend the HGroup to allow content wrapping on its child elements?Below are some code snippets of what I have:
MXML containers:
<s:VGroup id="answerData" width="580" height="700" horizontalAlign="center" paddingTop="5">
<s:HGroup id="theLabel" color="white" width="580" fontSize="25" paddingBottom="20" />

I've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
I'm quite annoyed by the lack of link graphic management of the flash ide, don't you? In a web application like flash, it's quite surprising that I can link a static text but I cannot easily style it's hover/out state like html, nor simply get it underlined.Yes, I know, use the StyleSheet class and dynamic text fileds, yes... But no, that's not the way I want.

I have a piece of Flash on an HTML page that when you hover over it, it expands out to reveal more information.There are text links that it expands over, however in everything but IE, when it's not expanded those links are still covered by the Flash making them unclickable.I have the Flash piece in a separate DIV wmode set to transparent.

I am having a nightmare using CSS to style HTML within a dynamic textfield in my flash doc. From what i now understand after much trial and error and reading online, CSS doesn't even work properly in flash even for the tags that it does understand (which are few and far between anyway). For some reason my layout is getting completely screwed up in certain scenarios (predominantly when there are images present too) when i hover over links (which are styled in an external CSS file). If i remove the external CSS styling (which only contains the following simple code):
a:link {text-decoration: none;}
a:active {text-decoration: none;}
a:visited {text-decoration: none;}[code]....
Then everything works fine (but no links are underlined as standard or on hover). Does anyone know of any way to style the links without using an external CSS file (all i want to do is have no underline as standard and then underline them on hover). As this is from user input into a text editor I cannot place these links manually on the page in flash as they could be anywhere, I need a way of parsing the HTML and then displaying it accordingly.

View 1 RepliesI've been struggling with this problem for a while:I have a string containing HTML and I'm using a regular expression to get the characters between the tags. I'm then attempting to apply a TextFormat to those characters.The problem is that I'm using the TextField's "htmlText" property instead of it's "text" property (because I don't want the HTML tags to be visible). So, the character index that's returned from the regular expression is incorrect, when I apply the TextFormat.Here is some sample code which illustrates the problem:
var txt:String = "<b>Sample</b> string with bold text";
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(tf);

I had to create a flash file which has animations, an audio track and at the end a set of html links.
The flash file to have stop and play buttons. Correct me if I'm wrong but to do this I would have to render the flash file as an mov, convert that to an flv and import the flv into a new flash file and use THAT swf which will contain the playback component of my choice.
If so Now, the problem is how can I get the links at the end of the file to work as when I convert to mov the actionscript is no longer working.
I made these Flash movies( the 4 at the top of the page). The links don't work live, but did work as a stand alone while making.

this is just a sample file you can consider..Have a look at the register now button..It will be in HTML how can I make it work..as flash comes above it.
Is there any graceful way one could have Flash leave FULLSCREEN mode (return to NORMAL) when a user clicks on a link formatted with HTML which opens a new (_blank) window? Currently, it opens the new window but remains in fullscreen mode (focus remaining on the current), so you never notice the window or have any indication that a window opened until you return to NORMAL.
It would be easy enough to do this with other buttons by throwing it into the MouseEvent handler function, but as far as I know HTML-formatted links (ones created with the <a> tag in an HTML TextField) only dispatch an event if the URL prefix is "event:", according to the docs:
Dispatched when a user clicks a hyperlink in an HTML-enabled text field, where the URL begins with "event:".
I suppose I can just throw the actual URL into the 'text' property of the LINK event and open a new window from there....but I was hoping there was a better way?
(Actually, now that I think about it, maybe in future projects I will create a simple urlOpener utility class which does exactly this, and handle *all* links this way so they go through a common funnel....)
Using Flash CS3 and created a navbar with AS 3. All links work fine to open html pages, but I'm having trouble targeting the pages to a specific frame.
I've checked and re-checked code in my actions layer and in my html pages.
Code for AS 3 is "navigateToURL(galleries, "_content");" "Galleries" is the variable for the URLRequest and "content" is the name of the target frame in the Index page. All files are local on my computer and the paths are correct.
