bug in textsymbol with htmlText

LinhNguyen2 — Sat, 18 Apr 2015 02:25:31 GMT

I think there is a bug when using the TextSymbol with the <img tag inside the htmlText;

for example,

var ts:TextSymbol = new TextSymbol();

ts.htmlText = "<img src='images/2.png' height='20' width='20' />";

I inspect the network traffic and I see it looping forever to fetch the file ?

Thanks

Linh,

I don't believe that the TextSymbol component was ever intended to be used to show an html image, so classifying this as a bug would not be appropriate. The Flex API is an API that is no longer updated so no more updates will be produced for the API. Thus reporting bugs in the API will produce no benefit.

It is advised that developers switch to the JS API.
