Process TextEvent first

[DFox]

Hi,

I have an application that is using a MouseDown event on the stage, and a TextEvent to process links within an a TextField that shows HTML (links use a href). When the user clicks on the text link, the MouseDown event for the stage is processed first. I need it to process the TextEvent for link processing before it does the MouseDown one. Does anyone know a way to accomplish this? I tried using the priority in addEventListener, but that appears to only be for the same exact listeners.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
~David

This is because TextEvent.LINK gets called only after you release your mouse, ie on click and not press. The only way to solve this is to use MouseEvent.CLICK or MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP instead of mousedown.

Wow, thank you sooooo much! I overlooked that simple concept. MOUSE_UP and priorities works like a charm!

Thanks again.
