[sigh] I admit this is because I'm using Flex as a content player, and an external HTML doc as such content. To be perfectly honest, I've had a gut-full of browsers (and versioning), hence using Flash in the first place and particularly WebKit as a browser "plug-in" gives me a standard to display - (inc HTML content with webkit). All of this because the TextArea component doesn't take external content for it's htmlText at run-time (a "source" that takes a URI would help) as well as not being able to programatically scroll to named anchors within the HTML document via binding. I've been looking at the alternatives of converting the HTML docs to XML and use XSLT to format the thing just to display in the TextArea component... it'd give me the "active bookmarks" effect with E4X but the processing - and management/authoring of the content would be a world of pain.
