Hi,

I’m using Flex 3.5 and I have a Text object with an anchor set in the htmlText property. The link only works on every other click. Is this a known problem in Flex?

I’ve done a simple case and I’ve found out that I get this problem when the htmlText is inside a TabNavigator object. If it’s outside it works as expected.

This is what is going on…
