using images in text files

[jcreach]

I have used text files in my scroll bars and was wondering since you create html in notepad can I use it to call in my image files or is there an easier way. I am wanting the images to appear beside a specific text in my scrolling text. If this is possible do I need to package the images in their own folder or is having them in my library good enough.

You can display images in the TextField using htmlText. The images can be either external or internal (Graphic symbol in the Library).

I wrote this in my text file which is in notepad. When I "test movie" an empty square shows up in my scroll with my text around it. So I know I have most of it written right but the image is not there. Here is what I wrote:
content3=<b>Aloe Vera or <i>Aloe Spp.</i></b><br><img align='left' src='aloe' width='100' height='100' hspace='12' vspave='12' />

The image 'aloe' is located in an image file in my Flash library and is the symbol of the .jpg image. I am assuming that the image is not showing up because I do not have it directed through Flash to that folder and then to the symbol but I am not sure how to write that. Can you help?

You have to have a Graphic Symbol (not a JPG Bitmap) which linkage is set to Export for ActionScript, and the Identifier is set to "aloe".
