TextField does not handle <img> on platforms other than Flash

[Oxdeception]

Describe the bug
The <img> html tag is ignored on non-flash platforms

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create AddingText
2. Change the TextField htmlText to include <img src="openfl.png"/>
3. Build linux or hashlink
4. Copy openfl.png to the bin directory
5. Launch

Expected behavior
OpenFL logo is displayed, text is wrapped around and able to be selected and interacted with as normal.

Screenshots
Flash result:

Linux result:

OpenFL Targets
Linux, Hashlink and any that use OpenFL's HTMLParser.

Additional context
The API documentation for TextField#htmlText lists the image tag as valid, with a noted exception for AIR.

The API documentation for TextField#htmlText lists the image tag as valid, with a noted exception for AIR.

It's worth mentioning that native platforms (windows/mac/linux, neko, hashlink) in OpenFL are generally implemented to behave the same as AIR.

With that in mind, the html5 target would be the only one that should support the tag in htmlText, similar to Flash Player.

[Oxdeception]

AIR has at least stated plans to support this tag in AIR 51 with domain whitelists for security: airsdk/Adobe-Runtime-Support#1242

Could there be a similar solution, or would this be a situation to wait for the actual API to be released?

Also, does OpenFL provide any method of achieving the same effect?

[joshtynjala]

Looking over the code, as best I can tell, our TextField implementation doesn't support the <img> tag at all. Not even on the html5 target. So we'd need to add a base implementation before considering security implications of native targets and supporting the proposed API in AIR.
