HTML-formatted text

Flash Player supports a subset of standard HTML tags such as <p> and <li> that you can use to style text in any dynamic or input text field. Text fields in Flash Player 7 and later also support the <img> tag, which lets you embed JPEG files, SWF files, and movie clips in a text field. Flash Player automatically wraps text around images embedded in text fields in much the same way a web browser wraps text around embedded images in an HTML page. For more information, see Embedding images, SWF files, and movie clips in text fields.

Flash Player also supports the <textformat> tag, which lets you apply paragraph formatting styles of the TextFormat class to HTML-enabled text fields. For more information, see Using the TextFormat class.
