I have a panel in my application. My requirement is, I also require a link, that is "Help options" to appear in the panel's header. In the left, we will have the Panel's title and in the right corner, I need this link. Is that possible?

    import mx.core.IUITextField;

function init():void{               
var rightpanel_ui:IUITextField = rightpanel.mx_internal::getStatusTextField();
                rightpanel_ui.selectable = true;
                rightpanel_ui.htmlText = "<a href='/mylink.php/' target='_new'><u><font color='white'>Help</font></u></a>";
}


<mx:Panel id="rightpanel" width="100%" height="100%" status="Help">
