Hi

The Dynamic text box which i have used doesnt recognise\<image tag HTML code …it recognise \<b\>…\<br\> etc…  
Can anyone help?

also though i have used \<img src=“[http://lcoalhost/1.gif](http://lcoalhost/1.gif)”\>

It shows me img src=“[http://lcoalhost/1.gif](http://lcoalhost/1.gif)” in the box…why its not showing the image?

Any gurus out there

Its a text box so i’m pretty sure it can’t hold images :-\ Maybe try createEmptyMovieClip instead…

A. Flash can only load .jpg  
B. From version MX 2004 on, you can use the “img” tag, not before!  
C. There’s security restrictions as to where you can load stuff from, which changed in mx2004…check MM’s site
