Hi Chris,

Are you compiling for Flash or HTML5? For Flash, there is a subset of HTML formatting commands you can get away with, e.g. <a href="...">...</a> or <img src="..." .../>. If that won't work for you, I'd suggest using the <html/> component, which creates an iframe:

Let me know how it goes!

Here's the problem. In the website I'm building I've built my own
windows class, complete with resizing, scrollbar etc... I'm very happy
with the look. What I'm having a problem with is importing the data.
Currently I'm loading text from an xml file via http. This works for
simple blocks of text (most of the content) and it's meeting one of my
primary criteria, to change dynamically and load on request, not
compiled in, but what I'm looking for is way to rich up (that's right I
just coined an expression) the text. On a previous site I built with OL
I used an IFrame but I'd like to avoid that this time as I'm fond of the
custom scrollbar I've got and I found the IFrame didn't play
particularly well with Internet Explorer. I also considered using a
richinputtext box but it's the importation of data that is the problem
not where I'm putting it.

Can someone please tell me the best way to import formatted text with
the occasional pictures slipped in, on the fly?

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks a lot,

Chris
