As far as I am aware, it is not possible to get an image to float inside a Flex textArea by applying css to htmlText code.

What do you think?

What do you think?
"Float" inside? Just overlay the image by using the Image component and place it over the TextArea component. If it needs to be placed a bit more dynamically, use the Constraints to bind it to the sides of the container.

Yes but the image must interact with the text

In what way? It's easier to receive help if you fully describe the context of your situation.

You can use htmlText's <img> tag, which will displace the text around it.
