1 sounds a little more involved than I want to get... 2 was my first approach, but I end up with a (vertically speaking) very small scrolling textfield - and it just does not look good - so my goal was to mimic a div with an overflow of auto where the whole thing (image and text) scrolls....

Use the BitmapData Class to collect the image data, then use it to add additional transparent pixels to the left or right making the total width of the image the same width of your text field. You then must use something like the PNGEncoder class to save it as a PNG and save it to a server using AMFPHP. Make sure your .htmlText references this file directory and file name. Tthe transparent pixels should push the text below the image. Here is the link to the PNGEncoder class: http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2006/12/as3-png-encoder-faster-bett er/ 2) You could do all that but I would be more inclined to have the text field and picture be separate and have textfield's .y and .height properties adjust dynamically to the bitmap data of the dynamic image.
