How can I put external images in html text?

[axilmar]

Hello.

I want to put external images in html text but I cannot.

I can put images from the library in html text using the image tag and specifying the src attribute as the image's library identifier. But I cannot do the same with external images, i.e. images from the filesystem.

How do I put images from the filesystem in html text? what exactly do I need to write inside the src attribute?

I need this functionality in order to put interactive icons for a chat window for an MMORPG I work for (DFUW).

I am using Scaleform SDK 4.3.

Thanks in advance

Hi

Generally images need to be sourced out from a folder adjacent to the movieclip named the same as the movieclip loading the images. 

ie.  c:/scaleform/myProject/ <-- this is where your main scaleform SWF is located. 

Let's say it is called "myProject_01.swf". 

In the SAME folder as the movieclip you would have a folder called "/myProject_01/" where all your images would reside.  

So it would look like this.

c:/scaleform/myProject/myProject_01.swf

c:/scaleform/myProject/myProject_01/someImageFile.jpg

When it comes to loading images from external sources there are limitations in flash due to sandbox security.  I believe the method used within scaleform allows for local loading of images whilst adhering to the sandbox security protocols which usually have to be defined to allow certain paths and domains.
