If you can deal with Win only solutions, the cheapest (no Xtras) solution is to use an
ActiveX
browser control inside Director.

More or less. Check out the list of Xtras at updatestage.com/products
-- there's a Win-only Xtra from Tabuleiro (I believe).
You could also just do
open someFIle with browserName()
if you wanted to get only some of the files.
Loading HTML into Director's #text members will lield wildly
inconsistent results, as they do not render HTML particularly well.
Especially if it has been generated in a program such as DreamWeaver,
which writes standard HTML in much the same way that e.e. cummings
wrote standard English poems -- which is to say, not at all.
