Embedding SWF and image files
To embed an image or SWF file in a text field, specify the absolute or relative path to the
image (GIF, JPEG, or PNG) or SWF file in the
following example inserts a GIF file that's located in the same directory as the SWF file (a
relative address, on or offline).
Embedding an image in a text field:
1. Create a new Flash document, and save it as embedding.fla.
2. Add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the main Timeline:
this.createTextField("image1_txt", 10, 50, 50, 450, 150);
image1_txt.html = true;
image1_txt.htmlText = "<p>Here's a picture from my vacation:<img
src='beach.gif'>";
The preceding code creates a new dynamic text field on the Stage, enables HTML
formatting, and adds some text and a local image to the text field.
3.
Add the following ActionScript below the code added in the previous step:
this.createTextField("image2_txt", 20, 50, 200, 400, 150);
image2_txt.html = true;
image2_txt.htmlText = "<p>Here's a picture from my garden:<img
src='http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image2.jpg'>";
You can also insert an image by using an absolute address. The preceding code inserts a
JPEG file that's located in a directory that's on a server. The SWF file that contains this
code might be on your hard disk or on a server.
