Except you can only use it on Windows. I just went to download the free version (which is now a 30 day- trial). They want all your info and for you to be subscribed to Adobe to get it. Heck, they don't even let you download it. They have to send a link to your email first. Waste of time??

Hi Karl, Thank you. I've done HTMLLoader in AS3 and AIR, but they want more control. The typical Reader controls. But thanks a bunch, appreciated, John John R. Sweeney Jr. Senior Interactive Multimedia Developer OnDemand Interactive Inc Hoffman Estates, IL 60169 On Feb 12, 2012, at
