Flash 8 Loading external HTML pages inside flash window

[g_rochford]

Hi

I was wondering if it is possible to load a google map into a window within my contact page that one can scroll about like you can in actual google maps. At the moment i just have a static picture that when you click on it it takes you to a seperate page. But i dont want to clog my site up with extra graphics if i can avoid it.

Many thanks

Greg

as far as I am aware you cant load an html page into flash, you can load html but you would have to parse it yourself.

if the google map spits out a url for your (image) part of the map, you could try loading the image. but there would be no interactivity.

if google map have opened up the source and allow others to pull data from their server then you could have the full works.

Thanks.

i thought as much its a shame because it would be a cool little tool for business
