Answer 1

RichTextEditor is a complex component which consist of few small components and TextArea. So the problem is how to insert image in TextArea.

TextArea can render simple HTML and <img> tag is supported. More about htmlText property here.

So

var myTextEditor:RichTextEditor = new RichTextEditor();
myTextEditor.htmlText = "<img src='myImage.jpg' />"
