Loading images into a dynamic textbox

[BrokenHope]

Im wondering how you would go about doing that, I tried <img src=""> but it skipped the code everytime I used it... so how else can you do it?

textfield should be html enabled. then your img html tag should work...

myTextField.htmlText = "<b>the</b> quick brown <img src='fox.jpg'>";

I do have html enabled, and the images are loaded up from a variable in the textfield which is defined from loading up the php file which gets the tag from the database, and then has the html in it. Anyways I will try again, and Flash can load up jpgs from local and public jpgs (so it can open up images uploaded on other sites) right, just like on a website.

Ok this is really gay, I started all over and made a brand new flash file, made a text box, enabled html, named var and instance to myTextBox then added the actionsctipt:

myTextBox.htmlText = "This is a picture of my best feature: <img src='http://www.actionscript.org/images/men_u/links.gif'>";

Which when I test the movie all it shows is the text. "This is a picture of my best friends feature:" And whenever the url to the image is wrong it pops up a gay error saying the url cant be found. What the heck is going on?

dude, you cant load gifs. only jpegs.

Ok I got it working, can SWF's be loaded into dynamic textboxes? because im trying to do transparency of the images, and if I have the swf transparent when its saved, it should come up transparent when loaded in the main swf right?

I'm having the same problem, the actionscript that's loading in my text is as follows:

myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
mytextbox.htmlText = this.daTextBox;
}
};
myLoadVars.load("http://eso1.com/thefool/testing.php");

which loads in the text/images from:
http://eso1.com/thefool/testing.php

But the jpg's don't then appear in my dynamic html enabled text box (only the text, please see here):
http://eso1.com/thefool/fool.htm

... any help would be wicked!

How did you get yours working in the end BrokenHope?

Edit* I've been doing som rummaging and I think it's cos I'm using MX not MX2004, I'm gonna have a go with the scrollpane now... cheers!
