Loading external html

Man it would awesome if Flash supported the <img> tags when loading an external html file.
I would be done with this current project and moving on to more important things like getting some sleep…

It’s so basic.
Its just text and pictures.
With the text flowing around the pics…

The only way I can think of to do it is to make a vertically huge honking MC with everything laid out statically - a mask - and a custom scrollbar with buttons that control the honking MC…

I just dread doing that…
It always scrolls funny - and I really want to use Flash’s professional looking component scroller. If I could just ditch the pics and go with text I would! But it’s for a client - and we’re locked into flash at this point…I could always roll to a pop-up window in html, but that is also less than preferred. :huh:

Loading an external HTML file seemed like the perfect solution - except for these silly img tags…

Anyone have any advice?
Is there a way to load those images through the html file ?
I so hope I am wrong about my conclusion that flash wont do it.

Your help and guidance is much appreciated…!

thankye.
