    Multiple questions

    1) Is it possible to display an actual web page within a 3DFA-created flash animation?

    2) How much HTML does 3DFA's "small text" object support?

    3) Is it possible to display images from a server within a 3DFA-created flash page?

    I found the answer to #2 in the 3DFA help file.

    You can use the AS2 function loadMovie to load an external bitmap. Try ...

    var img = this.createMovie();
    img.loadMovie ("my_image.jpg");

    Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by number one, could you be more specific?

    For number three, Kusco is right but you might want to keep in mind that flash can only load JPEGs.

    Kusco, I appreciate the answer. However, how do I display the image? I'm new to 3DFA, and even Flash in general. Also, are you named after Kusco from the Disney cartoon "Emperor's New Groove" ?

    ConnElite, #1 referred to displaying an actual web page within a Flash document. Such as a mini-browser. I know this is quite unlikely, but I'm just curious about what I can and cannot do. Knowing what tools a man has is important when designing a project.

    No, you can't display a webpage in flash then.

    I attachd an example to shwo yo uhow the image loading thing works. Again, I'm pretty sure you can only load JPEGs in flash.
