Displaying WebPage

[raskriall]

hi there !

i'm working on a game project and i got some trouble with displaying stuff in the game Launcher. everything is in AS3. I'm actually looking to achieve almost the same results as the World of Warcraft launcher with a news section.

the way i think to work it is that i create either a textArea component or a textfield and display html page in it. This html page could contain text, image and flash SWF.

but here's the problem, textField and textArea component are very limited in displaying and formating HTML pages. So i don't know if i should continue to search and try developping this way or find another way for displaying dynamic stuff that can be easily updated.

if anyone got sugestions or any help for this, you're welcome !! :pac:

thx !

you're probably better off using css to format the page, with swfs embedded where need be rather than doing the whole site in flash.

well, this isn't a website. it's an application in C+ running the the main SWF. that's why i'm looking forward a solution to have a easy way to update the news content in this application. :wasted:

the way i thought about it was to simply put an easy to update html page on my server, and just display it in the SWF with a simple URLLoader function. But the formatting is really not what i have expected... :(
