Need help with images in htmlText

Hi guys, i’m having a lot of trouble getting images to display correctly in htmlText boxes in flash.

Yes… it’s AS2 , and its flash 8… but i don’t have any other option with it…

Anyway, very basic code here:

myText.html = true;
myText.htmlText = "some html text";

now all i want is to be able to display emoticons in-line with the text. i have a small search and replace going on for things like: ”:)” replacing them with image tags, but flash is just not having any of it.

No matter what i try, the images just seem to want to be below the text, or not appear at all. It’s extreamily frustraiting, nothing is working at all, these are some of the things i have tried and failed with:

<img src="image.png" vspace="0" height="16" hspace="0" width="16" />

<img src="image.png" vspace="0" hspace="0" />

<img src="image.png" height="16" width="16" />

<img src="image.png" />

<p> text before<img src="image.png" vspace="0" height="16" hspace="0" width="16" /> text after </p>

<imagebox><img src="image.png" vspace="0" height="16" hspace="0" width="16" /></imagebox>

all with prettymuch the same result, any help here would be much appreciated

sure you do coughas3splutter

I remember having issues with this but I think it was AS3 not AS2

You need CSS for that I think. load a newStyleSheet.

darn…

ok, looks like the emotes will have to stay as the font for now. No biggie, if any of you guys come accross a foolproof workaround, i’ll be eternally grateful
