Inline Graphic Issue

[ProspectComm]

Trying to put an inline graphic into my formatted text resources but it only returns the rule name not the graphic. I tried to follow a previous post regarding this issue but with no luck. What's the best way to put a graphic in so it moves with the text.

I wonder if there is a rule for a graphic that could move the X&Y coordinates of the graphic based on the number of characters a text field has?

 

 

How is the text moving? Data input or is it a text resource based on a what?

You need to create a rule with the name of the variable you're placing into the Text Editor for the Formatted Text Resource (or just for a text frame's contents), and have it return a <graphic> tag. Please see the Cell Phone Tutorial job for an example of this.

I did figure out how to do it as a text resource.

Coded it like this: return '<graphic file="/Users/prepress2/Desktop/799-6687/signature.jpg">'

I think you mean a text rule, not a text resource.

 

Note that you can return the tagging for an actual Graphic Resource from your text rule using the content property, like so:

return Resource("signature.jpg").content;

Dan, you are correct. A rule not a resource.

 

Thanks
