Image and textbox

i have a simple code for the dynamic textbox, which is multiline, and has htmlText turned on. This is the code


_root.myText.htmlText = "hi there";
_root.myText.htmlText += "<img src=\"someimage.jpg\">";
_root.myText.htmlText += "test";

this is what gets displayed:

hi there
[image goes here]test

why wouldn’t this display as something like this?
hi there[image]test

i tried to put everything on oneline, like this:


_root.myText.htmlText = "hi there<img src=\"someimage.jpg\">test";

this gets displayed like this:
hi theretest
[image]

why doesn’t it display the image in the middle?

also, what can i do to select the image? thanks. :slight_smile:
