I’m just learning Flex and am struggling with showing a dynamic hyperlink with a dynamic title. For some reason, this post was the closest thing I could find to what I need. Do you have any resources to point me towards? Any help would be a relief..

@krishna,

All of my examples used the Flex 4.0 SDK and the TLF that came with that particular build.
I’d start by making sure that you have the latest available TLF build, as I believe that the TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT was an API change, so you may be using a slightly older TLF build.

I am facing the same issue with TextLayout Logged issue in (http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/) Id : SDK-26612.

One more thing I found in your code TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT, But in my build i am not able to get this option.

Thanks in advance.

@lee probert,

Do you have an example of something chaining a bunch of hyperlinks together? If so, can you file it in the bug base (http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/) and post the bug number here and I can investigate ASAP.
I tried with this test case in a recent Flex 4 SDK and was not able to repro the behavior you were describing:

 xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

    >
         />
    >
 
    >
        [CDATA[
            import flashx.textLayout.conversion.ConversionType;
            import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;
 
            private const someString:String = 'Adobe.com>"http://flexexamples.com/" rel="nofollow">FlexExamples.com>"http://airexamples.com/" rel="nofollow">AIRExamples.com>"http://actionscriptexamples.com" rel="nofollow">ActionScriptExamples.com>';

     id="ret"
            editable="false"
            textFlow="{TextConverter.importToFlow(someString, TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT)}" />
 
     click="debug.text = TextConverter.export(ret.textFlow, TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT, ConversionType.XML_TYPE).toXMLString();" />
     id="debug" width="400" height="200" />

I think the format attribute of the span tag might be deprecated. Certainly didn’t work for me. Also, if you chain A links together it converts them all into one link.

Razvan,

Try downloading a newer Flex 4 SDK build from http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4
