Hey guys,

I’m having a little trouble loading an INTERNAL image into a dynamic text box. It works fine while loading an EXTERNAL image, such as the following:

```auto
strTxt = "<img src='gorilla.jpg'>";
out.htmlText = strTxt; //out is the dynamic text box name

```

How do I get it so that it’ll load an image within the flash scene?  
I tried

```auto
strTxt = "<img src='_root.gorilla'>";

```

but that doesn’t work, neither does the ‘gorilla’ without the ‘\_root.’ I gave the image an ID name of “gorilla”. The image is in the main directory, where the dynamic text box is. Anyone have an idea? :luigi:

Thanks,  
Matt
