ok, I'm almost certain this can be done, but don't even know where to begin.

I have an external html file I want to make part of a Flash movie I'm making. The page is text, links and javascript. I want to put it in my movie and make it scrollable. Is this possible? And if so, how? Is it possible to insert an iframe into a Flash movie (thought would fix it right there)? I'd be overjoyed with a link to a tutorial. If not, I'll have to do it the hard way...

Hey Satis,
You can only load html into flash files using Flash 5. Even then it's not easy, but possible. Advanced <TABLE> and <IMG> tags won't work and I doubt you'll get javascript to run internaly either. stick with basic html 1.0 code for best results.

Here's a tutorial
(check out the other tutorials as well some neat stuff here)

ah, thank you very much.

I found this:

tutorials 33 and 34. Too much for me to figure out though, in the small timespan I had, so I just went with an external file that got spawned by a button. I'll check out the tutorials. Thanks for the assistance.
