This is a very geeky technical post. If you are not a very geeky technical person, feel free to skip it. If you are a very geeky technical person, but you're too l33+ for Flash, also feel free to skip it.
Macromedia sez here:
To embed a JPEG or SWF file in a text field, specify the absolute or relative path to the JPEG or SWF file in the <img> tag's src attribute. For example, the following code inserts a JPEG file that's located in the same directory as the SWF file:
textField_txt.htmlText = "<p>Here's a picture from my last vacation:<img src='beach.jpg'>";
This thing I am doing exactly as written. However, a trace performed on textField_txt.htmlText immediately afterward reveals that it has the value:
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000">Here's a picture from my last vacation:</FONT></P>
And that the img tag has vanished completely.
Does anyone know what's happening here? My forehead will soon be bruised from being beaten against the desk.
