How to avoid the behavior of set htmlText in RichTextEditor?

I'm having this 开发者_运维百科problem of adding an image to the textArea in RichTextEditor (RTE) on the fly and this image seems to "reset" the html properties of the textArea. Better explained:

The user starts writing something in the TextArea (with Verdana in size:12 font settings). When he adds an image to the text area, the cursor right after the image gets very small and the font settings are reset to HUM777B in size:2.

How could I avoid this behavior?

It seems Flex adds additional HTML code before the image tag. If there was any way to avoid this I would be able to add my own settings to the tags.

Just before you programmatically add the image to the textArea, create a variable and store a reference to the textArea styling info. Set the styling info using this variable after you have added the image.
