Displaying a web page inside an .swf

[LB]

You can use the Get object to ask a script for information or get a web page and parse it yourself, then you can display the information as you want.

I wish it was as easy as you described it. There are many obstacles in-between. Firstly get object gives you the raw data in a single line and it is a hell of a problem sorting out what is what. Secondly there are no objects ported to flash which render html which actually will solve a lot of problems if such ability was available.

That is why it is best to use a php script to give you easy-to-parse information so you can use something like the string tokenizer to get each bit and put it where it goes on screen

Hi LB,

There is no doubt that it can be with limits done. But then this limit forces you to either stick to a static dull layout or compromise to repeatedly change your SWF for any changes you make in your php script. I think we need to persuade FVivolo to port his beautiful web object to be used in flash applications.

I think flash has the ability to display html built-in. Although it is limited.

Hi UrbanMonk

Thank you for the link. There are no such limits in Flash Builder 4 but then it will not give the easy flexibility of MMF to get command of your application. And unfortunately there is at the moment no possibility of utilizing it in MMF.
