why can't i post html in my flash text????

[roxylady]

I have created a dynamic text box in CS3 with multiline wrap, and render to html enabled. I type in a simple html code, i.e.

<img src="blah.gif"></img>


and it will not render.


Am I forgetting to do something extremely obvious that the help file has not mentioned?? I feel this should be really easy!


I need to insert an image into the flash file which is animated... importing it into flash by itself only shows the first frame.

also, i'm new, and this needs to be moved to flash cs3. sorry, i just figured out what free utilities meant!

where are you writing that code? all you have to do is import the image and then drag an instance of it from the library and onto the stage and place it where you want....

hey, i'm just writing that code in a dynamic text box.


i couldn't just import the image because it was an animated gif, and flash imports all the different frames seperately instead of one file.

BUT i just went ahead and sucked it up and changed all the gif frames into movie clips, so they are still animated on one frame. so..... this can be closed! END TOPIC!
