Sorry, what "code editor"? The only editor in Imagevue, is the textpage editor. You certainly do not have the option to edit any of the txt files you UPLOAD. Exactly what data is it that you don't want, and what screws up your code? Just a reminder, that this is Flash TEXTFIELDS, and it supports basic html text-formatting like <b> and <i>, but not non any complex tags ... Perhaps you have a link to your file? ... or paste me what exactly you are trying to add and where?

Edit what files? In Imagevue, there is a CSS editor, and it is NOT a wysiwig editor, so it is already for those who know CSS. There is no XML editor, and what XML files are you thinking of editing anyway? The only wysiwig editor, is the textpage editor, and you can already click the html button to go into html-edit mode. Just keep in mind one very very important thing: Flash textfields do not support anything else than basic html tags - You can see the full list here:

They are just textfields, not browsers with layout.

If you know how a wysiwig editor managed by hundreds of developers for a straight-forward html-platform like wordpress can be, try to imagine what battles we have had to try and get a wysiwig editor to work with extremely limited flash textfields that do not comply to industry standards.
