Images in Dynamic Text Box ... inside a Movie!

I’ve searched through other posts as well as my hangover will allow, and I don’t think anyone has addressed this issue yet. My problem is that I’ve got some dynamic text boxes embedded in movie clips (converted to symbol) in order to alpha fade them on the time line. This works great, except when I have an image in the text box. It seem that by including an <img> tag, and then having that dynamic text inside a movie, the whole thing crashes.

Has anyone seen this before or know a workaround? I want to be able to update my little portfolio diary with pictures and not have to play a transition movie over the text which is what I’m doing on my current site. If this has been discussed before, my apologies. Otherwise, any help is much appreciated.
