Flex applications running on Apollo will be able to render HTML, which will be just another kind of DisplayObject. But there are no plans to add this capability to the browser players. The reason is the available HTML rendering libraries are too large to include in the browser players, which Adobe needs to keep as small as possible to maintain near-ubiquity. And the HTML renderers in the browsers themselves can't be accessed from a browser plugin, and, even if they could, their behavior would vary from platform to platform, browser to browser, and version to verison, which would violate one of the main benefits of Flash. - Gordon ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of coderdude2 Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 10:53 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: HTML in Flex >From what I've read so far, html support is not planned for the Flash player (and therefore Flex) anytime soon. What people are doing is combining Flex/Flash with AJAX/HTML on the same browser page and using something like http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Framework:FABridge <http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Framework:FABridge> to pass messages from one to the other. It's even possible to position an html iframe on top of a region of your flex app to make it seem like it's part of the app. See http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/223822.htm <http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/223822.htm> for some ideas.

We buy medical knowledge from a company in HTML page format. Question is, using Flex, is their any way I can read these HTML pages into Flex and display. I know I can do this in Java, but it would take forever and my boss wants to get away from the page refresh. > > > Robert Shaw > 972-463-3515 >
