RE: FLASH: OpenFLA Project

[Damian Morton]

I think HTML rendering engines are around 4MB these days - thats is for a

HTML 4.0 compliant browser with javascript and everything else. Having one

in the the Flash player would be a major mistake, unless a way could be

found to use the browser the Flash player lives in. On the other hand,

having a HTML renderer in the Flash authoring system, and in Generator,

would be a great thing. It would import HTML, interpret it, and output SWF.

It wouldnt have to support everything, just a subset of marked up text.
