hello,

This currently works:  
\_root.master.textField\_txt.text = “\<img src=‘images/test.jpg’\>”;

I would like to have:  
\_root.master.textField\_txt.text = “\<img src=‘images/[COLOR=red] **variable** [COLOR=black]’[/COLOR][/COLOR]\>”;

I have a bunch of dynamic text fields on frame 1 off to the side  
of the stage. They are simply the file names of the images.

(I’m using the TextArea component btw)

I think this is pretty clear… I supect that this may not be possible.  
because it would be a variable within an html tag.
