Apollo will have full html parsing.

 

That is why is is not available in the FlashPlayer, including a full
html parsing engine would make the player way too large.

Thanks for the explanation, Tracy. I didn't really understand what
this IFrame stuff was doing until now. This is a really backwards
hack. Does anyone know if Adobe is going to add an <mx:Browser>
component or something similar? I am updating an old app that has
hundreds of HTM files, but it needs to work as a standalone app as
well as a web version, and it looks like I am going to have to convert
all those files to little SWFs, because I can't use a browser to run
my program.
