flash actionscript: Can an image and/or a button be included in a textarea? I am trying to create
something that acts like a popup window but using a textarea, and I want to be
able to give the users a visual way of closing/hiding the window by providing
an "X" at the top right of the textarea. Can this be done? If I can include
images and/or flash buttons, is there an easy way to position it in the top
right hand corner?

Thanks.

you can use html text and use on image tag to embed an image, and an asfunction anchor tag

anyone have a follow up to this? i am interested ...

i understand the question. it would also help me to see your code - since my
situation is similar.

and so if i may add to this inquiry ...

how can i include an MC or button inline within the HTML text of a TextArea
component -- and also have that object link to an AS function? i want to have
icons within the text of my TextArea that open pop-up windows within the Flash
application (MC linkage).

is this possible?

and how is asfunction used?
