HTML page within a Flash Movie?

I have an HTML page on my server that I'd like to be able to
have inside my Flash movie, is there any way this could work? I
don't want to use the external Text file method. I've been trying
to use an iframe over a Flash movie to fake it but I just get all
kinds of browser problems when I try to do that. I'd just like
Flash to be able to display an HTML page like an iframe does. Is
that possible?
Thanks in advance!

nope. this exact question gets asked here from time to time
and the answer is really just that
simple - no - but flash does support some HTML tags for text
but HTML as a language is completely
different animal from flash player.

Embedding an HTML page in a Flash Movie

I am trying to embed an HTML page in the center of a Flash
movie and I was wondering if this is possible, and if so, what is
the code to do so. I want it as a small box in the middle of my
SWF.

You can add HTML formatted txt to a TextField or a TextArea
Component. This only allows for simple things, a href, b, u, i,
p... But for a full HTML capabilities you may want to look into a
DIV container that sits on top of your flash object using CSS
styles.

Displaying HTML page within Flash

Hello!
We need to display an HTML page within a Flash executable file. We request the members of this forum to kindly guide us on how to go about it.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks and Regards,

flash textfield's have limited html tags they can parse so your best bet is opening an html page in another window using getURL() (as2) or navigateToURL() (as3).

Display an HTML page within a a panel

I want to create an applet with multiple panels, and have the ability to display HTML pages within these panels. These will be HTML pages with formatting complex enough that the JEditor display won't be able to handle them. I experimented with showDocument() but that seems to only work in the main applet frame, and attempts to put a frame inside a panel did not work. I came across some postings that talked about JSObject, but got the impression that does not always work and is very browser dependant.
Any suggestions?

Yes JLabel supports HTML, e.g.
public static void showHelp()
   JFrame frame = new JFrame();
   JLabel helpLabel = new JLabel();
   JLabel.setText("<HTML>This is a <b>help</b> file.</HTML>");
   frame.getContentPane().add(helpLabel);
   frame.setBounds(0,0,200,200);
   frame.setVisible(true);
}

Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash...?

Hi Everyone!
Is It possible to load Html page Inside Adobe Flash CS5.
Any help would be a great help...!
Originally, i wanted to bring in through <IFRAME> but i don't see that flash understands that.
Thanks in advance!

Not exactly sure how you where planning to display that HTML content in relation to the overall page, but given the limitations of Flash... that may just not be possible...
But, it would be a simple matter to display an HTML iframe over the top of or behind a Flash .swf... So while the iframe would not be a part of the .swf, it certainly could be designed to make it look as though it were.
Controling the stacking order or layering of content on a Web page is accomplished through z-indexing. Correctly positioned and z-indexed, the iframe could apear over the top of the .swf... the .swf in effect being the background... OR the iframe could appear behind the .swf and with a transparent section in the .swf, the iframe would appear through that hole. If there is navigation or links in the iframe, they will be blocked by the .swf though.

But this may be an option....

Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash Professional..?

Hi Everyone,
Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash Professional or Adobe Flex. Thanks in Advance.

probably not the way you are thinking.
flash textfields and their extensions have a limited number of html tags they can parse so, in general, html from most web pages will not display, as expected in flash.

Displaying multiple dynamic html pages within a single Portal folder.

Hi all,
Question: How can I display multiple dynamic html pages that are linked to each other, within a single portal folder?
History:
I have a designer/web server application (PL/SQL packakges) on Oracle
8.1.7. Early in the development process we built it into WebDB2.2 and
used folders on the left side as a navigation bar and the contents of my packages on the right side. This was easy, WebDB used Frames.
Unfortunatley I could never automatically display a PL/SQL item in the folder area.
Now I need to integrate the application into Portal 3.0 not the early adopters version, the one with 9iAS (NT for now, Unix later). I have a page/content area divided into regions and a navigation portlet on the left side containing links to PL/SQL folders whose contents are displayed on the right side. On the right side I have (for example) a Queryview. When I click on any of the buttons (i.e. Find, New), I land in a new page outside of my portal folder. This page contains a dynamically built list (from one or more DB Tables) and of course the first column contains a list of links that bring you to the individual item. How do I set my links or configure my folder to display
within the portal folder area?

Hi,
One alternate is, increase the size of your screen, for this go to the layout of your screen and increase it as much you want, and also the custom container size, so that no scroll bar will appear at least.
Other solution would be, as you said ALVs will be dynamical, it will be good to create buttons, or links on the screen based on the no of ALVs dynamically and on click of corresponding button call the corresponding ALV.
But i dont think this will serve, first check the first option.
Hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran.

Displaying Web Pages in a Flash Movie

About html banner into a flash movie

I have a web site done in flash which is a main movie and
everything else is loaded into this movie, and i created a space to
put my affiliate banners. But all affiliate banners is html code .
How do i put them o show them.Thanks

Okay, so my terminology is inaccurate. Sorry, don't mean to
be misleading. This is a sample of the AS code that you can use on
the button that you place over the image:
on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("
http://www.youraffiliate.com","_blank");
//End Behavior
}

I need to allow my customer to edit content on an HTML page within their browser. How can it be done

Hi,
I have a need for my customers to be able to edit content (text and links) within a region of a page in their browser. I read about "Editable Regions" and templates but it appears that our users would need Dw installed.
Is that true?
If so, how do you handle security so only my customer can edit content?
Is there another method I can use in any other of the Creative Cloud apps?
Is there some JavaScript that can be used?
Thanks for your help!

Make flv within a flash movie loop (or entire movie loop?)

I am needing to make the flv loop from my .fla file which contains .flv files. I know there is a piece of AS 3.0 I need in order to make them loop/make the entire movie loop but I am not sure what it is.

Well,
in AS2 you need to use this code in the flv object:
on (complete){
this.autoRewind=true;
this.play();
Hope it helps

Any "free" classes out there to display an HTML page within Applet?

I'm not using Swing - so I'd prefer a basic HTML parser and renderer. I just want to make a simple help system for my applet -
Any ideas?

Yes JLabel supports HTML, e.g.
public static void showHelp()
   JFrame frame = new JFrame();
   JLabel helpLabel = new JLabel();
   JLabel.setText("<HTML>This is a <b>help</b> file.</HTML>");

   frame.setBounds(0,0,200,200);

Multiple flash movies on 1 web page?

So, I'm working on a new site. Very graphical and will have a
lot of cool bells and whistles. At first, I was creating it
entirely in flash but I abandoned the idea because I just can't
help but click the back button when I feel I need to, and doing
that takes you all the way back to the previous HTML page instead
of previous thing in the flash movie and it gets annoying fast, and
I know if it happens to me it'll happen to plenty of others. So, I
was thinking about just building it as html/dhtml with all the cool
css tricks everyone and their mom are doing these days.
The old versions was set up with one big movie for the
interface, and smaller movies for the content that get loaded in
with the loader component. Worked pretty well. So, I was thinking..
what if I still kept those content pieces and loaded them in over
the HTML, using DHTML to position stuff and the little
wmode=transparent thingy so you can still see the background HTML
bitz that need to be there. I mean, I know it can be done and how
to do but my question is, what if I want to have the menu in flash
too? and maybe the site logo animated? Or a rotating flash add at
the top that's loading in a few different ads and cycling through
each one like a slideshow? Will 3-4 different flash elements on 1
page be bad? My first guess is it will slow things down a lot, but
will it? I mean, it's not HUGE files it's more like smaller bits..
logo, menu, ad and content .. the content will mostly just be text
and some photos, nothing too fancy. I don't want it to slow down
people's computers OR take forever to load/display (which it
shouldn't). So it will be HTML pages loading in flash movies, so
the back button will finally work!
The reason I'm considering doing this is more for font issues
than anything else, and some cool transparency effects I can
accomplish with smaller files and better compatibility than if I
use PNG files
Any thoughts? is this a good idea or should I just try to do
it all with DHTML stuff? I can do it that way, i was just thinking
using Flash might be easier & better for some parts...

Yes, it is fine to do that.

No. Flash has limited support for html and is not capable of displaying html web pages as content.
