I appreciate your responses Karl, but I think you're still a bit off. The <img> in htmlText can have a source of a library item, and an interactive MovieClip (say checkbox) can be inserted into the textfield and work. I want to put an interactive Sprite into the textfield, but not through a library linkage id, but through any arbitrary class reference.
Has no one ever tried doing this?
