I have a MC that i use pretty much like a frame. I load the contents of the site into this MC everytime. Well my problem here is i have a bunch of text and a few pictures that i would like to display in this MC. I would LIKE to just use the MC to display an HTML page. Is this possible? if not, how would i go about using a scroll bar or at least up/down arrows to scroll the info?  
thanks.

you cant load html into flash, but you can ‘simulate it’ by scrolling the MC that contains pics and text:

create a button and paste this actions to it:

```auto
on(press){
startDrag("",false,l,t,r,b);}
on(release, releaseOutside){
	stopDrag();
}

```

now converti this button into a movieClip and paste this actions to it:

```auto
onClipEvent(load){
	l=_x;
	r=l;
	t=_y-50;
	b=_y+50;
	_y-=50;
	_parent.ycontrol_diff=_y;
}

```

select this movieClip and assign the ‘ycontrol’ instance name, now in the actions for the frame were all is located:

```auto
pixeles_a_mover=600;

this.onEnterFrame=function(){
		ryc=ycontrol._y-ycontrol_diff;
		mp=pixeles_a_mover/100;
    elclip._y=mp*ryc;
}

```

now give the instance name ‘clip’ to the movieClip you want the scroll to be applied
