Image not showing

I can get a text flow working with some texts and a link but my image isnt show

ing here is my way

articleField.textFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromString(brandz[currentBrand].summary);

<s:RichEditableText paddingLeft="10"
                                        paddingBottom="5"
                                        paddingRight="10"
                                        id="articleField"
                                        maxHeight="300"
                                        selectable="false"
                                        editable="false" />

when it is loaded the following html is available and is working as I can see the text around the img tag following, is there some kind of loaded event i need to wait for ?

<img src='http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/srpr/logo1w.png'/>

Also how can I make sure I have the latest best tlf libs 2.0 ? do I need to update anythign else like the flex SDK ? I do want to use the float attribute so need this functionality.

a big thanks for help on my posts as I'm tearing my hair out yet again with text in flash, after loving so much about flex I feel this is quite a dissapointment how hard it is to get this working. 10 years of flash text hell one might say
