I really need to learn how to load an external HTML document into a flash MX text box. I am aware of how to load .txt documents, but I need to be able to have images loaded into the box as well as text. Please help me if you know anything about this and drop me an e-mail. Thanks.

Sorry, but loading an entire html document into flash isn’t possible, only text files are possible. :-\
