Add an image in Text in TextArea at cursor location via Actionscript and control its baseline

Question

If I want to add image at cursor location in TextArea, I need to use EditManager's insertInlineGraphic. But , insertInlineGraphic doesn't offer any parameters for controlling how an image is placed in the text, such as baselineShift.

Whereas InlineGraphicElement allows me fine control over how added image is placed within text via properties such as baselineShift but then there is no way to add this newly created InlineGraphicElement object as cursor location in TextArea!

So, how do you overcome this limitation? How do I add an image in Text in TextArea at cursor location via Actionscript and control its baseline?

After the ILG is added, you can find the ILG element by textFlow.findLeaf(cursor location) as InlineGraphicElement, and then change its attributes. Or you may just take advantage of applyLeafFormat().

FindLeaf is an important function for navigation in TLF.
