Question

I want to load a MovieClip inside a TextField inline with the text.

The TextField documentation says “HTML text that you assign to a text field can contain embedded media (movie clips, SWF files, GIF files, PNG files, and JPEG files).”

How can this be done with MovieClips? There must be a listener we can override.

Answer 1

From the documentation :

src: Specifies the URL to an image or
SWF file, or the linkage identifier
for a movie clip symbol in the
library. This attribute is required;
all other attributes are optional.
External files (JPEG, GIF, PNG, and
SWF files) do not show until they are
downloaded completely.

You can add MovieClip by setting his linkage identifier in the src attribute of the <img> node.
