Is it possible to make the logo in the config.xml a hyperlink?

Ashley,

It is possible if you can edit the HeaderControllerWidget.mxml. DO you have the ability to edit the source code?

Yes, I'm using FlashBuilder.

Ashley,

OK, then this is what you need to add to the HeaderControllerWidget.mxml:

Just add this to the top where the other private vars are:
```
private var linkURL:String;
```

In the widgetConfigLoadedHandler funtion add these lines in the if configXML:

                    linkURL = configXML.logolinkurl;

Then add this new function:

            private function img_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

Next add this line in the HeaderControllerWidget.xml:

<logolinkurl>http://www.esri.com</logolinkurl>

Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check and to click the top arrow (promote) as shown below:

Hi,

This is really great and very useful. I was wondering would it be possible to add a label to the hyperlink as you hover over the logo with your mouse.
Thanks

Shane,

Sure all you need to do is add this line to the others:

                    linkURL = configXML.logolinkurl;                     if (linkURL)                     {
                        logoIcon.toolTip = "Blah blah blah";                         logoIcon.buttonMode = true;                         logoIcon.useHandCursor = true;                         logoIcon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, img_clickHandler);                     }

All,

If you dont have the ability to edit the source code you can always hide the logo and use the static image widget instead:
