Display html table in html enabled textfield. alternative?

hello!

i’m facing an issue due to the shortcomings of html tag support in flash.
The xml file containing the content to be displayed in a textfield (with html enabled) on the stage, contains a table. Right now, it displays each cell underneath each other, as if it were a paragraph. Any idea if there is a way to do this?

Also, is it possible to display an image inside a textfield (loading a img src=“myimage.jpg” ) ?

thanks a lot!
