Hi folks,
Being new to flash I wasn't sure if this was a newbie question or not but I thought it would be safe posting here first :)

I've searched through a few webpages and tutorials and can find plenty on getting content from an external text file and placing it into a scrolling text field. However I cannot find out how to add images as well.

What I want to create is a field that has both images and text as content. There will be a lot of text so I want it to scroll.
Doing this in HTML would be no problem but I want to do it in a totally Flash site.

IMG tags don't seem to be supported by Flash text fields. Could it be done with multiple LoadVar statements?

Can anyone help?

Howdy and Welcome...

I am not sure if this is what you want, but this look similar to my example...

cyan,
shouldn't those scroll buttons move the content in the opposite directions?

Oh, come on... Give it a break...

Dot you really think my brain is working as normal as other people??? I mean... from the vampire??? :p

Yeah... It could be the other way, but as long as you know how to fix it, I don't really care... ;)
