</div>

\<script language=javascript\>var city = ‘toronto\_ON’;\</script\>  
\<script language=javascript src=‘[http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weatherbutton/test.js](http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weatherbutton/test.js)’\>\</script\>  
}

its actually a code for [theweathernetwork.com](http://theweathernetwork.com) that makes a small button appear with the day’s weather and current temp.

i am aware of the possibility of using html in your flash in some manner by pulling up an external file, is this not possible with javascript as well in a similar manner?

its only possible to bring in basic “font formatting” html like the b, u, and i tags. To do something like that in Flash you would have to make it from scratch… not just put the script in.

does that mean if i ‘re-worded’ the code to flash language it SHOULD technically work?

no. You would have to recreate the entire thing. not just simple re-wording.

well i suppose that means that since i am not actually the creator of this graphic and it is simple being called onto my site by this js code that it is impossible…ho humm…well i suppose there’s always another 2 ways to do something…perhaps i’ll have to have a pop up window (tho i hate those evil spawn of satan) made in html. thanks jubba for your assistance.
