Hello,
:thumbsup:
itīs fantastic that Flash 8 html formatted textfield now embeddes not only non-progressive jpg format but also png, gif and progressive jpg formats and of course swf file format.
When displaying images and text within a html formatted textfield in Flash 7 it was necessary to specify the width and the height of the image because, while the image was loading, the text was already inside the textfield. When the image was fully loaded it appeared on top of the text.
In Flash 8 there is no need to specify the width and the height of the image because after the textfield loads the image, the text is rearranged according to the image that has been loaded. These are very good improvements.

However I wish they had fixed the "bug" when displaying two images side by side which is very handy when displaying thumbnails forexample. Instead of being displayed side by side they appear on top of each other.
I also want to mention that the text floats around the images inside the textfield and itīs unfortunately not optional if you simple want to display a picture with a text below the image. You might use multiple break tags to push the text below the image but if you are dynamatically loading images you would need to make a script to calculate how many break tags to use.
