Flash and existing websites

programming flash

Ok, I have been designing a flash version of my current website. The way I have it right now consists of an upper bar as a flash file, a middle table with an inline frame, and a lower bar that is flash. The lower bar is the nav bar that changes the pages within the inline frame. That works out fine, but I want to be able to make the middle section flash based, not an inline frame. My website is for 3D wallpapers, so I already have my gallery setup(in php). I was thinking about using a scrollpane to insert my pages into the flash document, but thus far I have only been able to figure out how to import other swf files into the scrollpane. So…my question is: Can I import html files into a scroll pane? If not, how can I import html files into a flash file to make it act like an inline frame?

If anyone can help me out, let me know!

Hmm… that’s a little bit tricky, but essentially if you put together some loadmove commands, as well as dynamic text fields that load the HTML you may be able to come up with a frame-less flash movie, that acts like a web site with frames… I’m not too sure on what you’re doing exactly, but hopefully you can go from there… good luck!

Just a warning, you might want to read up in the Flash help files about using HTML formatting in text fields as you may find that it doesn’t offer you the things that you need. Flash’s HTML support is VERY rudimentary, and often useless for anything more than text formatting.
