html - positioning html img tag in as3 via xml/cdata

Question

I've been trying to position an image tag in actionScript3 (from an xml file) like this:

<![CDATA[

Hey, <br/>
<img style="margin-left:200px;" src="imgs/_mamo.jpeg"/>
<p>

some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
</p>
<p>
Thanks,<br/>
web-dev.
</p>
    ]]>

but as3 is not using the styling.

Is AS3 able to recognize css styling? If not how would I position the image tag?

Answer 1

May I suggest (if you aren't married to pure ActionScript for your project) that you check ou the following link...

Flex has the ability to use style sheets for both components as well as text using the wonderful CSS you are used to.

Flex for AIR also provides a container for rendering above HTML 1. FlashBuilder's proprietary MXML can also give you more freedom in mixing images with text.
