You can html enable the TextField and simply use \< **A\>\<** /A\> tags:
[AS]this.createTextField(“mailto\_txt”, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mailto\_txt.autoSize = true;
mailto\_txt.html = true;
mailto\_txt.htmlText = “\[me@me.com](mailto:me@me.com)\”[/AS]

kax, you need a width at least:
```auto
this.createTextField("mailto_txt", 0, 0, 100, 0);
mailto_txt.autosize = true;
mailto_txt.html = true;
mailto_txt.htmlText = "...";
```
