Hi there… This is probably a really dumb question so dont laugh.

I’ve created a dynamic text box within my flash file which loads an external text file. In this text file, I thought maybe I could use html like \<img src=“myimage.jpg”\> to load an image along with text i have in this file. Obviously it doesnt work like that…so is there another way I can do this? I wanted to do it this way so that anyone who knows just a tad bit of html can edit this text file without touching the flash file.

thanks for your help!! :nurse:
