Hi. I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. :hair: I’ve got a flash file (compiling to Air) with a HTMLLoader object in it.

The HTMLLoader object loads the web page I link it to correctly. The page is an intranet page within my company’s domain.

What I would like to do is to take the HTML/text in the HTMLLoader component and convert it to a string so that I can list it out in a textArea. I want to parse the text to grab information like names and phone numbers etc. I’m sure I’m just missing something obvious.

I have been trying all kinds of different ways to make this work. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks
