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.
