I know that while you can use the <img> tag in html text fields to
load images or symbols, that the image must be left- or right-aligned
with the text, and the text wraps around it. I have a need to have
small images *inline* with the text, however. I'm wondering if
anyone's worked out a hack to make this work (or at least appear to
work).
The first thing that comes to mind is to place some other character
where the image will go, search for it, figure out its position, and
then attach the image on top of it in the appropriate place. However
I'm not sure if it's possible to find the exact position of a
character in a TextField.
I recall seeing someone demo just that thing on a blog post
somewhere, but I haven't bookmarked it, and I think it was probably
AS3 anyway (this needs to run in FP8). Flash Paper Viewer is able to
highlight search results in this way, but I believe there's some very
Flash Paper specific things going on there (having worked on the
first version of it myself).
Any clues would be much appreciated.
thanks,
