If you set the h property of the above image text icon, you could use that, along with the height of the image to position the y coordinate of the image, add the image height to determine the position of the bottom of the image, and that will tell you where the y coordinate of the below image text icon should be.</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=ES style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The next problem is that there is no onLoad event fired by textFields when images load, so you have no way of dynamically finding out how wide the image loading into the textfield is. You can work around that by loading the image first into a graphic icon, handling its load event with an interaction icon, deleteing the graphic from the stage and usig the info you can find out in the event handler to set up the rest of the page? Ugly workaround, I know... but if it isn't supported it isn't supported.</SPAN><SPAN lang=ES style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>We are using the xerte’s object text with html and seems to recognize some tags, but not all and not “good enough”.<SPAN lang=ES></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We want a paragraph, then a centered image, and under it another text paragraph. But we get the text at the right side of the image, not below.<SPAN lang=ES></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We have a simple content like this:<SPAN lang=ES></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=ES></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><p> Some large text </p><SPAN lang=ES></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><img src=”some_url”/><SPAN lang=ES></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><p> More large text </p><SPAN lang=ES></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=ES></SPAN> </P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=ES></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It may be a silly question but my college insists its not a simple flash issue but a xerte’s object text thing. What you think?<SPAN lang=ES></SPAN></P>
