Hi

Lets see if I can help you with this.

I want to load an html file into a certain position coordinates and have the size of it set

You can’t load a HTML page into Flash.

You can however load text that has HTML formatted tags into Flash, but there are many HTML tags not supported by Flash.

If this is really what you want to do, let me know, I’ll track down a good tutorial on the subject for you.

I know that problem I used to get it alot.

Select the text box that has or will have your text in it.
Go to the properties window and make it a ‘Dynamic text box’
Then loacate the button called ‘Render Text As HTML’
Its a really small button in your properties window. Its to the right of the make text selectable button (looks sort of like ‘ab’)
the ‘Render Text As HTML’ button has an icon like this ‘<>’

Okay if you did that then you’ve got a dynamic text box that renders text as html make it a multiline text field instead of a single line.

Your done now, add the bold, italix etc… tags to individual words and sentences now, it shouldn’t mess with everything else.

If you want I can provide screenshots and or a .Fla file to help you.
(I don’t know how much Flash related knowledge you have)
