html from a server into flash ??

[Seti]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to recieve server-side information, like html-pages, into flash ??

I'm building a website, fully made in flash and I like to recieve server-side information in the swf, not in a new browser window !

I hope someone could help with that..

there are a number of ways to do this can you be more specific as to what you want to do ie what you want to get and how you want to trigger getting it

f.e. links that are dynamically updated on the server..

what's f.e. ??

be more specific please

[Seti]

a server generates html pages, which I want to receive and update dynamically in my swf.

I want to see the FULL html pages IN the swf, in a mc with scrollbar.

Ok here how but there are loads of problems

in the flash you can use loadvariables("myAsp.asp",0) to get it but the format for this is,

the asp page needs to output like passing a querrystring ie

variable1=fred&variable2=peter etc.

if you try and pass a full HTML document you will confuse this so you would need to replace the '&' '=' '+' etc in the html prior to passing it with something that would allow this to work

having recieved the modified html you would need to rebuild the string back to the original

next the text box only suports a limited sub set of the html standard I'm not sure how you would get around this

why is it you feel you want to do this and not just split the host html document into a frame set and load the returned document in to the none flash frame
