Looks like the problem is leaving this empty.. > var strComments:String = "";
putting there an real string in, per example: var strComments:String = "<b>User ratings:</b><br>"; causes no problem with the picture alignment. you can try to put there only an <br> in that string and you can see the textfield aligns the first stars wrong. i hope you can reproduce my evaluation. max -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
