hello there,

I’m having problems with text tool and html text.

the task should be very simple: create a text box, give it an instance name, load xml content from server and put the content on the text box using htmlText property.

the problem is that when i use img tag. the text after the img tag behaves just like when i use "align=‘left’ in regular html (running on browser)… it goes to the right side of the image.

I would like to get the text under the image, automatically.

the only way i can “fix” this issue is putting a lot of \<br\> tags to make the text getting down untill it reaches it’s appropriated position.

obviously this is not a solution, and it’s far away from the ideal work method.

what i would like to know is how do you use dynamic text with flash, specially loading xml files, and how do you deal with img tag.

i don’t know if it makes any sense, but i’m using a multiline textfield with it’s autoSize set to true.

thank you all  
Chan

I also notice that when you put an image using img tag the textfield maxscroll property does not increase like with regular text. anyone knows why or how to fix that?
