hi barry, what issues are you having with the HTML Component.swc? i think the html component will do what you need it to. it displays an iframe or a div of html markup. you choose what to use and you choose the content.
if you want to load one long html page in and show only bits and pieces of it and you are already using e4x on it then just pass the node in (of html content) that you want to the html component.htmlText property. it will find the div and update the html. you could also load in the page into an iframe. use the source property of the html component. then if you want to go to different bookmarked location then pass in the html page plus the hash mark to the source property.

you might be on to something here, Alex... (kicking around the idea...) in the "more_info.html" file I can replace the <a name="#policy101"><h2>Policy 101</h2></a> <p> ... </p> with <div id="policy101"> <h2>Policy 101</h2> <p> ... </p> </div> and then use myDiv.innerHTML to get each section of the HTML as needed? HOWEVER... (1)I thought ExternalInterface only allowed communication with the Flex swf and it's continer HTML doc. I'm lost on how it can talk with a "third party"... ... or are you suggesting "more_info.html" *is* the swf's container doc and all the div's are hidden, showing only the swf? (2) is the idea to get JavaScript to return the requested HTML back to Flex's TextInput.htmlText?
