Here’s what I want to do:
- Copy and paste existing html text from an existing html file [as in - allowing me to update both an html site and flash version of it using the same html file [I’m using dreamweaver] into a text file [or html file, don’t know if you can actually do this] then dynamically load it into a text box within flash mx or flash mx 2004.
- Format the dynamically loaded text within that text box [and it should have scrolling ability] with an external css file [the html file has references to the css file already, will flash pick this up?].
- So the end result looks exaclty like the original html file with links intact.
Any help or an easy alternate method would be greatly appreciated.
