Hi,

I have to place movie clips within dynamic text content.

I am using ‘img src=’ with html text which is working but it puts the icon on it’s own line of text.

So this…

```
    b = "first bit of xml"
    b += "&lt;img src='exit_icon'&gt;";
    b += "second bit of xml"
    my_text.htmlText = b

```

looks likes this…

first bit of xml second bit of xml  
‘exit\_icon’

Does anyone know how I can get it to sit in between these 2 bits of text? Or perhaps another method of doing this that might be more appropriate?

Thanks in advance

CS3 and AS2 btw.
