Hi guys !

Does anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven’t figured out why.

If you have any clues… I’d be really thankful

The AS I’m using:

\_target.container.t.html = true  
\_target.container.t.condenseWhite = true  
\_target.container.t.autoSize = “left”;  
\_target.container.t.htmlText = \_data.texto

The String ( &HTML ):

"Text lorem ipsum bla bla … \<img style=‘WIDTH: 154px; HEIGHT: 59px’ height=‘298’ width=‘856’ alt=’’ src=‘[http://www.spacilong.com/arq/img/AlcatelLucent\_Hor\_2col\_sm.jpg](http://www.spacilong.com/arq/img/AlcatelLucent_Hor_2col_sm.jpg)’ /\>

erm **text** fields can’t load images 😛

unless maybe you render it as html text

should really load images into MCs though

Naturally, I am rendering the textfield as HTML ! 😃

\_target.container.t.html = true  
\_target.container.t.condenseWhite = true

I’m not sure what that is - but notice it all the time. Hate to cross-forum post, but take a peek at this thread, it appeared that the person found a solution to avoiding that, by trying to run a preloader on the textField image target - I haven’t tested but worth a try:
