Is there some way to show HTML content inside Flash?

Question

I want to show HTML content inside Flash. Is there some way to do this? I am talking about full blown HTML (with JavaScript if possible).

Answer 1

flashQuery supports HTML tags and CSS rules for Flash. It transforms flash into a really browser. Here it is: http://www.flashquery.org/

Answer 2

You could also try http://motionandcolor.com/

Wrapper is a cross-browser compliant HTML/CSS rendering engine written in ActionScript that sits on top of your standards compliant HTML page.

Javascript might be tricker though.

Answer 3

Here is a decent article on how to accomplish that.

@Flubba: I didn't say "great" article, I said "decent" - there is a big difference. Besides, no one else had answered and it had been around a while. I figured a "decent" answer was better than none. I am no Flash expert, so...

Answer 4

How complex HTML are we talking about? Simple HTML, like <b> and <i> is supported in text fields if you use the htmlText property. You can also attach a CSS style sheet to the text field for more styling. Have a look at TextField in the Flash API documentation (I'm sure you can just google it).
