Inserting an Image Into the Editor Area

I'm needing to be able to insert images into the editor from an external source, as I need to use an existing image uploader for several reasons...

I had hoped it would be as easy as updating the value of the hidden "content". Obviously it's not that simple on further inspection. And a "document.getElementById" is not seeming to work either. Looking over the .js, I had hoped there would be a function available for doing something like this, but I can't seem to find anything of the sort.

PLEASE help.

Thanks.

Re: Inserting an Image Into the Editor Area

Figured it out myself if anyone needs to know...

function addImageFCK(image) {
   newContent = '<img src="'+image+'"/>';
   var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('content');
   oEditor.InsertHtml(newContent);
}

Thanks for that, but where do you put this script? In the parent?

I am also trying to target the editing area but unsuccessfully - ;-(

Thanks
