Beginner question here to which I haven’t found an answer to: I have an external XML document loading within flash and was wondering if it it’s possible to change a frame/label from withing HTML rendered content using getURL?

This is probably not possible, but is there a suitable method for doing so when it comes to loading external content and controlling the timeline?

Thanks.
