Oh BTW, this font smilie solution is immune to Flash versioning
(5,6,7,8,8.5), it should work in any other app that can display
fonts. Also, the sample swf in the link is a little buggy but the
Archive.zip contains the latest source.

I have a font based solution that is easy to use. The idea is to
use the kerning in fonts to simulate layering of letters, however,
in my font there are no letters, just smilie *parts*.
You can see the breakdown here as well as test it out:

... download the sample here (it's old, you may need to play with
it a little to suit your needs).

Hi List,
I have a working FlashComm chat programme, dedicated to online
counselling.
It's been up and running for over half a year now, but now the
client wants
me to add some new features, one of which is emoticons.
I'm using the TextArea for the history component and formatting
the text
with html, so I thought adding the emoticons would be a simple
matter of
using the <img> tag in the TextArea. But it doesn't want to work
that way -
the emoticons are not displayed inline, but at the beginning of
the next
line, wrapping the following text around them.
I need to find a way to to make them display in the same way as a
user would
expect from a chat application. I've done some research, but
haven't found
anything suitable yet. I also don't want to use an emoticon font,
because
the results are not what I'm looking for.
Any ideas? Is it possible to use a style sheet to position them
correctly?
Or give all images ids to move them around? Would I need to
overlay them on
top of the text? Nothing too complicated I hope, I've only
estimated a
couple of days for the job...
Thanks,
Karina
