But its indiscriminate use in Flash can produce something that resembles putting lipstick on a pig. The API gives you three options to create content within an InfoWindow: "InfoWindowOptions.content" for simple textual content laid out in a paragraph, "InfoWindowOptions.contentHTML" for a slightly more expressive HTML-based approach to layout (albeit with a very limited selection of HTML available to you), and "InfoWindowOptions.customContent" for Flash developers. It's a combination of the developer's skills and the requirements that dictate the option used. For a developer proficient in ActionScript 3, "customContent" can satisfy all requirements, but with greater development effort. The jump from "contentHTML" to "customContent", both in implementation effort and concepts, needs to be considered. So, if you're less of a software developer and more of an animator / artist (and speak of things like "timelines" and "movie clips") you might want to try "contentHTML" first to see if this can meet your needs.
