I know you are trying to avoid it, but I think the only way to go is to get those counters counting and insert the raw code into the textfields htmlText property.
And, yes it really does suck!! (don't get me started on superscript and subscript ;) Giles -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: 09 August 2006 15:10 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion OK - follow me here for a fun mental exercise: I think the major issue I'm running into with this is the TextFormat class relies on the text field's visual formatting described by the Flash Players internal style profiles. And since the TextFormat class does not support an <IMG> tag, I cannot use TextFormat to insert an image, I have to insert the <IMG> tag as a string. AND SO since writing to the text property of a TextField object destroys any custom formatting associated with the field (i.e. the interal style profiles), I have to use the TextField.replaceSel() function (p. 889 in Moock's ASDG for FlashMX). AND since the replaceSel() function encodes the <IMG> markup, you can't have it render the image! So it seems to be a catch-22 and I'm screwed using TextFormat and trying to let the user also add an inline image. Unless someone knows otherwise, I am going to have to use a movieClip container instead of an IMG tag. That will not be ideal, but it might fly for this project. I really wish they would make the HTML editing capabilities of Flash better, but it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon.
