Using images in text fields -- Flash CS3

Another advantage to displaying your content as HTML text is that you can include images in the text field. You can reference an image, local or remote, using the img tag and have it appear within the associated text field.

The following example creates a text field named myTextBox and includes a JPG image of an eye, stored in the same directory as the SWF file, within the displayed text:

package
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.*;

    public class TextWithImage extends Sprite
    {
        private var myTextBox:TextField;
        private var myText:String = "<p>This is <b>some</b> content to <i>test</i> and <i>see</i></p><p><img src='eye.jpg' width='20' height='20'></p><p>what can be rendered.</p><p>You should see an eye image and some <u>HTML</u> text.</p>";

        public function TextWithImage()
        {
            myTextBox.width = 200;
            myTextBox.height = 200;
            myTextBox.multiline = true;
            myTextBox.wordWrap = true;
            myTextBox.border = true;

            addChild(myTextBox);
            myTextBox.htmlText = myText;
        }
    }
}
