Is the more info going to be more sophisticated than the TextArea.htmlText can handle? Does it have a known set of html tags that you can mimic with TextArea.styleSheet? -Alex

I'm hoping to keep the "more info" content as one HTML doc (that can be edited/replaced by itself) without embedding the content into the flex app itself, with each section run off named #anchors. at least, that's how I'd do it if it wasn't a Flex app... The MSWord version of the HTML doc is 55+ pages total although each "more info" section is only a paragraph or two. I've been looking at the HTMLComponent.swc (http://www.judahfrangipane.com/blog/?p=104 <http://www.judahfrangipane.com/blog/?p=104> ) but I don't think it's going to cut it for the long term. Meanwhile there's no native flex controls that will do this (unlike Apollo) so, can anyone suggest another way to do this? - I can't use a database - the "more info" content has to be separate from the swf and easily updatable. - it'll have to be HTML since it'll have simple mark-up and links to images - I'll still be able to bind each "more info" id/anchor to the flex app's own data any suggestions? thanx
