Hi.

I’ve only been experimenting with Flash for a week and the tutorials here have been quite helpful indeed. I saw some tutorials that allowed loading external SWF’s into a website using loadMovie but I was wondering if there was an equivalent for loading HTML files without using getURL.  
For example if I wanted to load welcome.html into my flash site (with the SWF and the HTML in the same directory on my computer) how would I go about doing that?  
I tried using loadVariables but it didn’t show up.

Thanks for the help!
