I would need to float an image (which will be the same height as one line of text) in a dynamic textield, and when the textfield is resized, the image should follow like its part of the text.

(red picture is the image)

Putting and img tag inside htmlText doesnt do anything.

The best I could think so far (using TextLineMetrics or similar) is to leave a space, (or these dots (…) so that text doesnt collapse), and calculate where the last word before these dots is exactly from the top left of the textfield and place a movieclip on this position.

If anybody got any suggestion, doesnt mater how hack it is, let me know!
