Links embedded in text are not recognized by screenreader (i.e. to JAWS) in Flex 3 -


i'm working on making flex 3 application accessible (using jaws 14). after struggles, have working, 1 thing have not been able figure out how have link within body of text (label, textarea, etc) , have jaws recognize link.

for example,

private function setuplink():void {   var str:string = "";   str = "my test link: favorite search: ";   str += "<a href='event:http://www.google.com'><font color='#0000ff'><u>http://www.google.com</u></font></a>";    linktest.htmltext = str; }  public function handlehyperlink(evt:textevent, win:string = "_blank"):void {     navigatetourl(new urlrequest(evt.text), win); }   <mx:text id="linktest" x="20" y="140" width="500" height="100%" enabled="true" link="handlehyperlink(event)"  /> 

when tested jaws, entire text read ok, there no indication there link present, , no way activate link.

the real text dynamic , @ given time may or may not contain link, or may have more one, setting external link button next text not feasible.

this seems should simple process. missing?
