AS3 + htmltext + <img> not rendering

1

Hi,

I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me on this one as i’m pulling my hair out…

I have a series of external text files being loaded into a dynamic text box as html, the text renders fine, but the images never turn up.

This is my external text file:

<b>edinburghrock photoshoot</b><br><br>(by dennis straetmans & luke austin)<br>
<img src='images/edinburghrock/er1.jpg' width='310' height='207' hspace='0' vspace='0'><br>
<img src='images/edinburghrock/er2.jpg' width='310' height='207' hspace='0' vspace='0'><br>
<img src='images/edinburghrock/er3.jpg' width='310' height='207' hspace='0' vspace='0'><br>
<img src='images/edinburghrock/er4.jpg' width='310' height='207' hspace='0' vspace='0'><br>
<br><br>

and this is the as3 code:


//load the GlobalVarContainers script to enable cross clip variable transfer

import actionscript.GlobalVarContainer;

// add listener
addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, textUpdater);

//change textbox properties

bodyText_txt.multiline = true;
bodyText_txt.wordWrap = true;

//define functions

function textUpdater (event:Event):void {
	headerText_txt.text = GlobalVarContainer.vars.pageHeaderText;
	bodyText_txt.htmlText = GlobalVarContainer.vars.pageBodyText;	
	
	//program scrollbars

	clipScrollerHandler_mc.height = ((1 / bodyText_txt.maxScrollV)* 543)

	if (clipScrollerHandler_mc.height < 15) {
		clipScrollerHandler_mc.height = 15;
	}
	
	if (clipScrollerHandler_mc.height == 543) {
		clipScrollerHandler_mc.visible = false;
		clipScrollerTrack_mc.visible = false;
	}else if (clipScrollerHandler_mc.height < 543) {
		clipScrollerHandler_mc.visible = true;
		clipScrollerTrack_mc.visible = true;
	}
		
		

	var minScroll:Number = clipScrollerHandler_mc.y;
	var maxScroll:Number = minScroll+(clipScrollerTrack_mc.height -clipScrollerHandler_mc.height);
	var scrollInterval:Number = maxScroll - minScroll;
	var draging:Boolean = false;
	var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle (clipScrollerHandler_mc.x,clipScrollerHandler_mc.y,0,clipScrollerTrack_mc.height-clipScrollerHandler_mc.height); 

	clipScrollerHandler_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,beginDrag);
	stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,endDrag);

	function beginDrag(event:MouseEvent):void { 
		clipScrollerHandler_mc.startDrag(false,bounds); 
		draging = true; clipScrollerHandler_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkingProgress);
	}

	function endDrag(event:MouseEvent):void { 
		clipScrollerHandler_mc.stopDrag(); draging = false;
	}

	function checkingProgress(event:Event):void {
		var moveDrag:Number = clipScrollerHandler_mc.y - minScroll;
		var procentDrag = moveDrag/scrollInterval;
		if (draging) {
 			bodyText_txt.scrollV = procentDrag*bodyText_txt.maxScrollV;
		}
	}
}

(there is no problem with any of the scrollbar code, that all works just fine - i’ve just left it in incase i’m missing something stupid…)

Thanks in advance

Luke
