Ok, I figure out that if I have wordwrap AND autosize set to true, then the _height property of the textField does take into account any width and height attributes you specify for the image. This is only a minor inconvenience, and much better than setting up an interval to check for when the image has loaded and then continuing on with my code.

I'm dynamically populating a textField with HTML and would like to get the entire height of the textField, including embedded images.

Is there a method for determining the height of a textField that includes an embedded image? Both the textEntent and _height values do not take the image into account, even if I specify a width and height for the image. I did notice that the help docs for getTextExtent mentions that text is treated as plain text, not HTML text, so that would explain why textExtent doesn't work. Is there another way?
