Working with Text and HTML in Flash - Embedding media in text fields
(Page 6 of 6 )
In Flash Player 7 and later, you can use the <img>tag to embed JPEG files, SWF files, and movie clips inside dynamic and input text fields.
To embed a JPEG or SWF file in a text field you need to specify the absolute or relative path to the JPEG or SWF file in the <img>tag’s srcattribute.
Example:
sample_txt.htmlText = "<p>Picture:<img src='pic.jpg'>";
To embed a movie clip symbol in a text field, you specify the symbol’s linkage identifier for the <img>tag’s srcattribute.
Example:
sample_txt.htmlText = "<p>Movie clip:<img src='symbol_ID'>";
You can control the embedded media using ActionScript by specifying the id attribute in the <img> tag.
Flash Player creates a new movie clip for each <img>tag and embeds that movie clip within the TextField object. The movie clip created by Flash Player is added as a child movie clip to the text field that contains the image.
Example:
_root.sample_txt.htmlText =
"SWF: <img src='animation.swf' id='animation_mc'>";
The path of the embedded SWF will be
_level0.
sample_txt
.animation_mc.
_level0.textField_txt.animation_mc.stop(); stops the SWF file.
