Hi,

I’m building a webpage in flex. (web application not air application)

For some reason the air app has the ability to just call an \<mx:HTML/\> function but the web app doesnt.

Now I’ve made the layout for my site. But the content I want to put in the site is mostly straightforward text and some images, so no fancy html.

I’ve tried loading it in a IFrame, but that gives some problems. (iframe behind the app in firefox.) (when you click next to the iframe, it dissapears to behind the app) That sort of stuff.

So now I was wondering of there wasnt just an easy method for loading an extrernal html page to be displayed in the flex app. 🔗
