Answer 1

just found out how to get the original string:

function onClick(event:FlowElementMouseEvent):void 
{
    var link:LinkElement = event.flowElement as LinkElement;
    var text:String = link.href;
}

this will return the content of the tag, so you can parse to get your parameters

thanks for the post, it helped me a lot. at least i got one step further, i can actually listen to the events.

but i still have a problem, the HTML code i set on my RichEditableText looks like this:

Name

on Flex3 i could use the TextEvent.LINK get the arguments by its 'text' property, then parse to get the ID data that i need. but now that we are developing in Flex4 i cannot figure out how to do this. after catching the FlowElementMouseEvent i can only get the link text ('Name'), but not the arguments im sending on the HTML code.

do you have any suggestions on how to do this?
