Re: FLASH: window inside a Flash movie

[Scott Rouse]

You can not literally open an HTML page within a Flash environment.  Flash

does accept rudimentary HTML tags in text fields, but this can only format

text not open a page.  The closest idea would be a creative use of frames

(Iframes or otherwise) but its very rigid...or possibly using DHTML to

create different overlapping layers....one layer would be the HTML the other

Flash, but how to orient this scheme so that the page can actually be

presented is quite a hurtle.  (Off hand I can envision a flash movie that

houses dragable windows that could interact with the HTML below...but I

doubt if this is what your after)  I can't imagine at present how to orient

the page below to fit some open area of the Flash movie.  You can move

images, etc...but whole pages? I don't know.


I have seen Flash layered examples (no sites), and have wanted to do it, but

haven't got arround to it.  Does anybody know of any sites that exploit

this?
