including a HTML page in a flash template

[theogary]

my clent creates a monthly html news lettrer. I want to incorporate each month into my flash template(7963). how do I call this html file at runtime. Do you use a include statement

You can't do this. Flash is not a web browser. There is limited support for HTML, but it has to be loaded in by way of variable. Flash would not be able to render an HTML page.

That said you could get him to provide you with the information in a format you could use in flash. (name value pairs, xml).

Hope it helps.

IS THERE A FLASH OBJECT USED TO DO THIS? i AM A NEWBIE

The right way depends on which way you want to do it. Name value pairs you can use a text box (area) to display the information. XML you can use an XML object or Data connection tools.

Can you include a PDF file in flash

No... you can link to one though.

I have read how the XMXL connector can bind data elements in the XML to objects in flash. But I need to bind a entire news letter to a single flash object to display the news letter content. Do you have any examples or information help me achieve this.

That's a bit like asking how to build a car.

One way to do this would be to load the XML into a dataset (via the connector), then you can iterate through the dataset to add all of the records to a dynamic text field. Finding tutorials on the connector is hard. See if this thread will help you out. thread250-908402

Hope it helps.
