Hi,

Just after a bit of advice, I’m not even sure if what I’m trying to do is possible…

We want to create a default desktop wallpaper for networked Windows XP PCs, the idea being that the wallpaper will automatically load & regularly refresh the ‘Headlines’ from our intranet news stories with link to the full .html page.

Now I know I can create a wallpaper from a .swf file - however, I was hoping it was possible to load an external .html file into a .swf file?? is this possible?  
If not have you any suggestions how you may go about it?

To clarify:  
If we had the following html page on our intranet:

\<html\>  
\<head\>  
\</head\>  
\<body\>  
\<a href=“[http://ourintranetsite.co.uk/newsStory1.html](http://ourintranetsite.co.uk/newsStory1.html)”\>News Story 1\</a\>  
\<br\>\<br\>  
\<a href=“[http://ourintranetsite.co.uk/newsStory2.html](http://ourintranetsite.co.uk/newsStory2.html)”\>News Story 2\</a\>  
\</body\>  
\</html\>

And a dedicated box within the flash movie where the links within the .html should be displayed?

I know it is possible to load an external .swf in this manner, but the person updating our intranet won’t have any flash skills (just basic content management software knowledge).

Thanks.
