Matt, I s'pose I focused too much on the second part of your question in my previous message. So anyway, if this > src='com.myclasses.DropCap' actually works then more power to ya! If not: ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components Reference: src: Specifies the URL to an image or SWF file, or the linkage identifier for a movie clip symbol in the library. So, if you have a movieclip in your library with a linkage identifier of 'DropCap' (associated with a class 'com.myclasses.DropCap') you would use: var tString:String = "<img src='DropCap' id="DC0" style='padding:0px;margin:0px'/>Lorem ipsom yadda yadda..."; myTextField.htmlText = tString; myTextField.DC0.txt.text = "Z"; Regards,
