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

```auto

_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:

```auto

_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. 🙂
