Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run Example attached Notice the anchor tags work when using <mx:TextArea>
2. This example DOES NOT CONTAIN THE mx.controls.Text because it doesn't use the styleSheet property, I'm suggesting in this bug that it should.
3. mx.controls.Text extends mx.controls.Label that has a styleSheet you could set however this is set as mx_internal.

Reading the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=textcontrols_04.html It says... when using tags in HTML text you can use the <a> tag however when you do this it contains no style settings. Read the comments at the bottom of the documentation page. I hope this could be simply fixed.

Actual Results:

When you roll over the text when using <mx:Text> instead of <mx:TextArea>

Expected Results:

I expect to see the underline for the link... it has not underline style.

Workaround (if any):

Use TextArea instead of <mx:Text>
