Hi there!

Importing a LinkElement via code is not a problem, but to set the linkNormalFormat/linkHoverFormat for it is an issue:

Via Code it works like this:

            ....

            var linkNormalFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
            linkNormalFormat.color = 0xff0000;
           
            var span:SpanElement = new SpanElement();
            span.text = "This is a Test";
           
            var linkElement:LinkElement = new LinkElement();
            linkElement.linkNormalFormat = linkNormalFormat;
            linkElement.addChild(span);
           
            var paragraphElement:ParagraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
            paragraphElement.addChild(linkElement);  

            textFlow.addChild(paragraphElement);

            ....

I tried to do implement the same structure in XML:

  var xml:XML =
            <TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008'>

                <p>                 

                    <a>

                         <linkNormalFormat><color>#ff0000</color><linkNormalFormat> <!-- I tried loads of possibilities, thats only one try ... -->
                        <span>TLF LINK</span>
                    </a>
                </p>
            </TextFlow>;

after importing that XML to the TextFlow I get the follow Error:

Error: Expected one and only one TextLayoutFormat in http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008::linkNormalFormat
    at BaseTextLayoutImporter/reportError()
    at flashx.textLayout.conversion::TextLayoutImporter/createDictionaryFromXML()
    at flashx.textLayout.conversion::TextLayoutImporter$/parseLinkNormalFormat()

    ....

Has anyone an idea why that happens, or has anyone already imported formatted links inside XML with TLF?

THANKS!!!

This works:

<TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008'>
                <p>                
                    <a>
                         <linkNormalFormat><TextLayoutFormat color="0xff0000"/></linkNormalFormat>
                        <span>TLF LINK</span>
                    </a>
                </p>
            </TextFlow>

This works:

<TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008'>
                <p>                
                    <a>
                         <linkNormalFormat><TextLayoutFormat color="0xff0000"/></linkNormalFormat>
                        <span>TLF LINK</span>
                    </a>
                </p>
            </TextFlow>
