Hi Jim,

To accurately display any HTML markup you would need an HTML engine like
Webkit. Webkit is included in AIR but due to the file size it is not
included in Flash. What you can do in these situations is use something like
Claus DENG html interpreter but as you said it has not been upgraded to AS3.
You can also parse the HTML markup on your own as was mentioned in Alex
Hurai's article. But then you are reinventing the wheel.

You can use the HTML Component which has two different modes. One is
displaying a url in an iframe. The other mode is creating a "DIV"
dynamically and populating it with HTML Markup. It also supports runtime
RTE's. This is done seamlessly from within your Flex app. It uses the
browser engine you already have available to render the HTML.

When you need display HTML with Flex:

Flex - use textarea.htmlText. limited html markup
Flex - iframe trick, div, roll your own. HTML Component (does this for you)
AIR - Adobe HTML Control

Read through the description on this page
http://www.drumbeatinsight.com/htmlcomponent and look at the live examples
and see if it is what you need.
