How to create a text box with text and photos

[gkbdave]

I want to create a dynamic text box that loads text and photos.. I have a PDF file that I want to load. I would like to keep the same layout in the movie as it is in the PDF.

Does anyone know how this can be done easily.

Using MX 2004 Pro

thanks

Flash can't load in a PDF directly. The easiest thing to do would be to create the contents of the PDF in a movieclip and then use the scroll pane component to scroll it. You could also look into using Flash Paper.

I figured you couldn't put a pdf in flash.. But if I format the text as html that should work right??

I was thinking of using Dreamweaver to create the layout and copy the html code into a text file, then load that into my textbox.. Do you think that would work??


thanks

Flash can read html but only to a certain extent. It only recognizes certain tags and I dont think that <img src= is one of the recognized ones.
