read html-file to textbox

[Seticus]

I think this is almost impossible, or at least very difficult. The thing is: I wanted to make a guestbook on my site (inside flash) but my server doesn't allow me to use php. So the only other way (I think) is to use a remote script-host. So that's what I did, I found one on scripthost.com. It's a very simple one, it just changes a html-file everytime a new entry is entered. What I want to do now is to extract all the things that are in the html-file and put them in textboxes. Is this possible?

I searched a little bit and I found that I could use the server side include tags to read a html-file to another html-file (inside a div) and then use javascript to read the div and send it to a textbox in flash. But I can't seem to use ssi I don't know why, I never used it before and I don't really understand the language :crazy: .

Thanks

I guess it's not so easy to extract something from a html file. I found something on flashkit http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scripting/Using_External_Files/load_con-F-8012/index.php. This script can extract everything that's in a html-file, but when I put in online, it doesn't seem to work, I don't know why...
Could you help me?

Yes, I knew that, and I also know that you can load html-files with it but textboxes have to be set as variables (textbox=...). The thing is, I can't change this HTML-file and it doesn't start with something like it.

Maybe I can read this html-file using javascript and put it into a function, so I can use flash to call this function. Possible?

Also: If anyone knows how to use ssi (server side includes) let me know.

By the way, I don't have to render it, I just need the code, well actually just the text...
