FW: [Xerte] Xerte3: Links in TextFields

[Julian Tenney]

To get the link event to fire, you need to specify the anchor as an
event, like this:

<a href="event: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk">Click me</a>

Note the 'event:' preceding the rest of the path. Then you can handle
the link event, and get at the link text through event.text. The event
bubbles, so you can have one listener on a container handling all your
links,

OK, it's fixed now. Your old text fields will break! Under the hood the
TextIcon stores the text on the text attribute, rather than the node
itself, i.e. <TextIcon text="blah"/> rather than
<TextIcon><![CDATA[blah]]></TextIcon>

I also fixed that thing with the properties panel disappearing if you
resize the application window;

I added the icon type to the title of the properties panel, so you know
what type of icon you are editing, and added it's icon too, and rebuilt
everything.

I also updated the Xerte and Xerte Toolkits files, so everything on the
web site is now up to date with the files in the .svn,

I know why and need to fix it: I am storing text as the xml node: I need
to store it as an attribute, otherwise you can't add child nodes (i.e.
the event handler) to the text icon,

Leave that with me...

I created a Text Icon in Xerte containing a link: <a
href="event:myEvent">Linktext</a> (docu:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text
/TextField.html#event:link)
I also created an EventHandler "eventName: link" as a child of the Text
Icon which should output the link text: debug(event.text);
It outputs the text as expected. But also the text "debug(event.text)"
is added to my Text Icon. Does anyone know why?
