Actionscript 3 using keyboard to focus on HTML elements inside a TextArea

Question

I am attempting to add section 508 (Accessibility) compliance to an application built on Actionscript 3. We have popups triggered by HTML links in text. One of the requirements of the section 508 standard is that the entire application be navigable with the keyboard, including any uses of the anchor tag in the text.

How do I assign focus to an anchor that is present inside a TextField or TextArea object?

Answer 1

as far as I know you cannot do this.

the closest thing to targeting elements within an HTML TextField would be using the getImageReference() method..
