HTML into Flash MX

1

Hi,

I am designing a flash site for someone & he is hoping to update the news section by himself & wants to use both text ant pictures. I have thought about linking this section to a text file and using flash to call the text file in as HTML.

I don’t think this would work, but if you called HTML script into flash such as <img src=mypic.jpg> would this allow you to show a picture within the body of text? I know if you select HTML text you can make it bold etc.

If this will not work and allow him to show pictures, are there any alternatives that may allow him to show pictures with only understanding of HTML?

nope. dynamic text/html only supports bold, italic, underline, color, size and (i think) font.

to support images, you would have to write some code to parse his updates as xml, and generate images as movieclips, and textfields to hold the rest. There may be something like this out there already. dunno…
