Hi! I was wondering… I have to load some xml driven news items in a flash page. I’d like not to build a news scroller, I hate them, and I have no time.  
Is it maybe now possible in some misterious way to have the swf object adapt it’s height based on its contents, just like an html page? Too crazy? :ear:
