embedding html pages into flash

Hi folks,
I was wondering if there was anyway to embed html files into a flash file. For
example, im designing a site that has several sections, and for the content
would like the flash show to display a web page within the movie itself. Can
the flash movie call an external .html file and display it within the movie,
not in a new window? or is this not possible?

Thanks for your time,

Alan

simply No, if you require flash to be present constanly you can cheat and
use frames!

flash supports a very limited set of html tags,

i don't think inside the flash movie u can open an html file.
better integrate ur movie with an XML file, flash can read XML files and also
able to display contents.

Hi!!

You only need work with Flash MX 2004 html textfield and a little function to
this,

Example:

Remenber that the textfields not work with all the html tags. But now in Flash
MX 2004 img tag are suported and css styles works fine

;-D

Happy Retro Flash.

function loadPage(page:String){
var pageHTML = new XML();
pageHTML.ignoreWhite = true;
pageHTML.onLoad = function(){
window_txt.htmlText = this;
}
pageLoader.load(page);
}

loadPage("home.htm");
