「<A href' tag in dynamic text box?

Question

I need to track href links in a dynamic textField. ie the text is loaded as XML. So somehow I need to listen for an event when this a href tag is clicked in the dynamic textField.

Any suggestions?

You can dispatch events from link the following way:

<a href='event:http://www.adobe.com'>Navigate to Adobe.com.</a> 

Then listen to TextEvent.LINK.

textField.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, linkHandler); 

public function linkHandler(event:TextEvent):void {     
    // Open the link in a new browser window. 
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.text), '_blank') 
}
