img in textfield tag crashes Netscape/mozilla on Mac

[DukeNukem webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi.

I have made a dynamic textfield and a String object that contains a link to an image.
When I attach the string to the textfield.htmlText the browser crashes on Netscape, Mozilla and Safari on MacOs X and MacOs 9.

It works fine on IE and Opera on Mac and in all browsers on PC.

The code looks something like this:

this.createTextField("dynamictext",20,10,50,535,30 0);
dynamictext.html = true
dynamictext.multiline = true;
dynamictext.wordWrap = true;
dynamictext.autoSize = "left";
dynamictext.htmlText = "";
dynamictext.border = true;
dynamictext.embedFonts = true;
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.size = 16;
tf.font = "Myriad Roman";
dynamictext.setTextFormat(tf);

writeContent();

function writeContent(stat) {
dynamictext.htmlText = "<img align=\"right\" id=\"sample\" width=\"200\" height=\"145\" vspace=\"20\" hspace=\"20\" src=\"sample_min1.swf\" /><p></p>";
}

stop();

I have tried with both .swf and .jpg but it still crashes. I use Flash player 7.0.14.0 and 7.0.19.0.
I have attached the .fla and .swf in a zip so if anyone on mac, please run the movie and see if the same thing occures on your computer..

Anyone knows what could cause this problem?

Regards

One thing I notices is that if the img/swf is internal in the flashmovie the player doesn't crash..

Anyone tried this?

I have this exact problem... well sort of. The <img> tag is REALLY buggy, at least on macs. It either crashes the flash player (stand-alone or the testing one in the flash app), or crashes the browser (safari). I've found that if I load some text into the text field, and then clear the textfield and load an external image and text... it doesn't seem to crash. I'm going to take a look at having the images internal, but that doesn't really work for my application since the entire site is dynamically loaded from a database. I'm about to give up on the <img> tag.
