Flex LinkButton selectable

Question

Is it possible to make a LinkButton selectable? That is, the text from the LinkButton can be selected and then copied. LinkButton does not have the selectable property.

Answer 1

It is probably easier to create your own LinkButton by extending a Text control. Just style it to look like the LinkButton (blue, underlined) and set the following properties:

buttonMode = true;
useHandCursor = true;

Then just handle the MouseEvent.CLICK event as you would with any Button.
