I haven't really looked too hard at the IFrame solutions, but couldn't you use ExternalInterface and some Javascript to control an IFrame from the SWF?

(ideally..) just so long as I can load the relevant section of HTML in with a src/source attribute that consists of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (ie: translates to "./more_info.html#policy101", "./more_info.html#policy102", etc) and rely on the browsers caching of the "more_info.html" file keep the processing "thin" - which TextArea.htmlText doesn't do and why I was looking at the HTMLComponent.swc just to be clear, what "more_info" HTML content that gets displayed is pointed to by the apps internal data. - I've got no server-side code to help out (no JSP/CF/PHP, etc) - the "more_info" content has to be easily maintained (and a single HTML doc with #anchors can be) I'm not enthused with pulling in an external XML file full of [[CDATA sections with nodes having a matching "bookmark" attribute (and trying to maintain the thing) when all I really want is an IFRAME (I've had a quick look at the iframe experiments for Flex and they seem to have issues too) which is why I think I'm out of luck trying to do this and clutching at straws for an alternative.
