First of all, I’d like to say very nice boards.
Here’s my quetsion. I’m creating a website, for a band. They want the news and such to be able to be updated via HTML. So basically, I want it when you click on news, to load the flash page but have the area where the news will be posted to be an HTML page stored externally. Thank you in advance for any help.

You can’t bring in entire HTML documents, the only thing you can bring in is simple HTML text properties like bold, italic…etc in the form of a text document only.

Yeah I’m sorry, a lot of people ask about how to bring in entire HTML pages and so far it’s not possible. ☹

Well the only alternative that I can think of is loading in text files with HTML text properties in it so all you have to update is the text file. If you’re interesting in using that method then take a look at this tutorial, hopefully it could be of some use to you. =)
