Then the image is attached onto a movieclip using as a coordinates the sum of the width of all the characters in one line. If the text spans into multiple lines, that´s no problem neither. You know the width of the text field, so you can check where the text will span, and measuring the height of a textline, add that space to the y coord. Easy? No. Doable? Yes. In fact, i remember now a component that does exactly that... don´t remember the name, but something with emoticons and flash :) Regards, On Tue, 12 Sep 2006 15:43:23 -0300, Rich Rodecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > wierd...how do you suppose they did it here then?: > > http://www.mambers.com/chat/preloader.swf > > i thought about picking the string apart and piecign together some new > movieclips/text fields to display the content, but that would get crazy > when > the text spans multiple lines. the link above handles it pretty well > though. > > > > On 9/8/06, Marcelo Volmaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> You can´t do that because flash doesn´t support images as in-line >> elements, only as block elements. >> >> On Fri, 08 Sep 2006 17:30:43 -0300, Rich Rodecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> wrote: >> >> > thanks...its not the text thats going to the next line though...the >> text >> > is >> > all appearing on one line, but the image is appearing on the next. >> > >> > so for instance when the image is supposed to be in the middle of the >> > line >> > of text: >> > >> > hey there <img src="http://www.thewhole9.com/chat/smilies/smile.jpg"; >> > width="19" height="19" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0" /> hows it going? >> > >> > is turning into this (visually anyway, the html is still correct in >> the >> > textarea): >> > hey there hows it going? >> > <img src="http://www.thewhole9.com/chat/smilies/smile.jpg"; width="19" >> > height="19" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0" /> >> > >> > does that make sense? thee image is appearing on the next line, after >> > the >> > line of text when it should be right in the middle. >> > >> > On 9/8/06, Lori Hutchek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> >> Check that you are setting this VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0" it's the >> vertical >> >> and horizontal space around the image which may be pushing the text >> to >> >> next line >> >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich >> >> Rodecker >> >> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 12:55 PM >> >> To: Flashcoders mailing list >> >> Subject: [Flashcoders] Re: inline images in a textarea >> >> >> >> hmmm..anyone? i know i've seen it done a couple of times, but I'm >> >> pretty >> >> stuck. >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> On 9/7/06, Rich Rodecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> > >> >> > ok, i know working with images in a text area is only going to lead >> me >> >> to >> >> > heartache, but I've seen this done and if anyone can point me in >> the >> >> right >> >> > direction that would be awesome. >> >> > >> >> > I have a chat app that im building with support for emoticons. >> >> everyhting >> >> > works great except the smiley image always appears on the next line >> >> after >> >> > the text, so I wind up with something like: >> >> > >> >> > here is my smiley >> >> > :) >> >> > >> >> > when i really want: >> >> > >> >> > here is :) my smiley >> >> > >> >> > The one quirk i can see that might cause some wierdness is that i >> am >> >> > setting the contents of the textarea using the .text property, >> though >> >> the >> >> > textarea is set to html = true and everything renders out ok.
