HTML Link from a shape file in "Label" inside "Component

Question

Hello,

We are doing a layer in which you have some activities around town loaded in a shape file in SDE database. This layer is in a Flex application and when you put your mouse over and click an infoWindowRenderer pops up to dislpay an activity. The last field in this shape file is a HTML link to a picture on the server of the client and we need to make that link clickable or dislay the picture in the pop-up window. I tried to chande text to htmlText but that didn't work. I only managed to make the field available for copying the text with selectable="true". Can somebody share a way to make that link possible for clicking?

I'm attacing the code in a txt file

Thank you very much!

Deyan,

OK I see my mistake try this:<mx:Label click="navigateToURL(new URLRequest(data.Photos), '_blank');" htmlText="Abbreviation: {data.Photos}"/>

Robert, I changed the code as you suggested. (only removed the tag because I was getting an error) With the last line changed like that, the link is now clickable but it leads to ...Flex project folder.../bin-debug/%7Bdata.Photos%7D. When I cnahge " URLRequest('{data.Photos}') " to a HTML link to the pictures directory or one of the pictures it opens the address. I guess the problem is that when it's done this way it is not reading from the field in the layer of the service. htmlText="Abbreviation: {data.Photos}" is leading to the right address because it's getting its data from the layer in the REST service but the other {data.Photos} is recognized just as a text for a link I guess. Sorry for my English but I'm trying to explain it with as much detail as I can. Thanks for the replies! Deyan Kiryazov
