UI Scroll Component Question

[Mark__G]

How do I insert pictures or buttons/movieclips into the scrollable text area?

[BLiZZaRD]

If you are using version 8 or 9 you can do this. 7 or below and you cannot. What is happening is the UI's AS is controlling the text area. You could rewrite that, but it is a pain. The other method is to use HTML in the text area and render HTML in the properties box.

Version's 8+ support the img tag.

So I am loading an external text file for the html formatted content of the scrollable text area, but The scrollable area won't display all my content?

Here is my AS:

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
	packagestext.html = true;
	packagestext.htmlText = this.content;

};
myData.load("packages.txt");

Here is my txt file:

The Scrollable area stops right before the <img> tag?

[BLiZZaRD]

In the text area (on stage) have you selected the option to enable HTML(in properties panel)?

[Mark__G]

Yeah, definitely.

[Mark__G]

So I found the problem... I was using a "&amp;" and flash didn't like it apparently.

With that problem solved my image is still not showing up? All of the rest of my html works except for my img tag???!??

<img src="http://simplyvipweddings.com/Images/flamingo-west.jpg" align="left" width="150" height="113">

[BLiZZaRD]

Hmm.. it may be the align element. Flash is not designed to be an HTML parser. The HTML it does accept is slight. you may have to design a specific spot for the image to load, or you can put the links in an XML file and load through that.

Also check that you are publishing for Flash version 8 at least.

[Mark__G]

I am publishing to version 8, the align element is recognizable in flash, but even when I took it out still nothing.

How would I design a specific spot for the image to load within an external html file other than what I am doing?

[Medyman]

Is this a textarea component that you're using? If so...no need for the .htmltext, just use textarea.text = "HTML String" (as long as the html paramater it turned on in the properties panel.

I got your image to work in a textarea component. See here.

Also, to get a little more control over the output, you might want to have a look at this: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/ma...=00004041.html
