i think you misunderstood the suggestion. you can load the page in as xml in
flash, just like loading in any other xml. i would change your swfObject
javascript to pass in the location of the page:
//javascript
swfObj.addVariable("loc", location.href);
and then load that as xml in flash:
//actionscript
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.load(loc)

That sounds *much* nicer--how do you grab the whole XHTML page in
