Is there any advance TextArea that can attached image(image is alligned with the text) and the image can be movable inside the text area.I know that text area can support html text and can insert image tag but it is very limited, I can't move the picture inside textArea by dragging it or even add events on it.Is there any approach or solution or suggestion that you can give me?Your help guys is very much appreciated.

Answer 1

It should be possible using the new(ish) TextLayoutFramework (TLF), that came with CS5 and Flash builder 4 http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/

It has advanced location information for letter possitions, and also supports inline images more like the way html does.

Also look at the textflow options from this developer: http://guyinthechair.com/tag/flash-text-engine/

Seems like you would only need to add the interaction layer to achieve your desied results and it might be easier to use.
