Showing images on top of a textbox

[thegadgetfish]

Is there a way to show an image on top of a dialogue box, similar to a side image? It's to emulate a "texting" application, so I only want side image avatars, and no actual character sprites to show up.

Try the solutions posted in ' How to work in layers with a side-image?[Solved]' and 'Side Image Question', two threads that are also still on the first page of this section and feature several possible solutions to your problem. Alternatively, you could try to make these text messages appear as a side image after all by defining several 'names' with the various text message images as the corresponding character sprite, but change the anchor to change where they appear.
