Images in text fields.

xithor · 03-24-2006, 05:15 PM

This has been posted in other sections of the forum, and there's never been an overly clean answer, but I'm wondering if AS3 and Flash 8.5 have changed the situation.

What I'm curious about is having a text box, we'll say a text area, with something like the following format...

text text text

text text

text text...

I know you can use <img> tags in htmltext, but thus far, it appears to me you can only have text FOLLOWING the image. If you have text before the image, it will simply move the image down to the next line below the text.

Has anyone found any way around this, yet?

I know this thread is old now but did you find a solution as I am having exactly the same problem.
