htmlText Anchor tags do not support Title attribute for tooltips?

I’m working on a project and I’m encountering an issue with Flash’s sporadic support of HTML 1.01 for textboxes that use .htmlText.

The “Title” attribute is not supported for showing tooltips when you hover over the link.

For instance, in an HTML document, a href=‘index.html’ title=‘Click Here’ will show ‘Click Here’ in a hovering tooltip box. It doesn’t display in Flash.

Anyone know of a good work around? I found this page: http://jakruger.blogspot.com/2009/11/flash-cs3actionscript-3-hover-alt-text.html but I have yet to get it working with my text. For instance, I have one textbox, and the URL links are set for various words. This means I don’t have the coordinates to set my X and Y for the fake hover effect.

For instance I have a sentence like this one where words are underlined. Is there a way to get those coordinates?

Thanks all
