A client wants to show complete html-pages inside a Flash movie. I’ve seen somewhere that this is possible through an IFrame, but then you can just rightclick the frame to view the source, and that’s not what the client’s looking for.

Ik know it’s possible to parse simple html tags in Flash in a TextField, such as \<b\>\</b\> \<a href=""\>\</a\> etc etc, but what are the restrictions? For example, all css should work, even flash movies _inside_ the html page should work. I think they’re asking too much, so what exactly is possible and what’s not?
