I'm wondering if it is possible to embed html in a flash movie beyond the limited html text you can use in a textField? For example, I have a box/panel in my flash interface that I want to display information. This information will change depending what is clicked on, and the information to be displayed will be stored in an XML file. Right now, the XML looks something like this:

<callout name="name" type="circle" size="100" locX=100 locY="100" info="mydata.html"/>

where "mydata.html" is an html page containing the information to be displayed. I want to use html because this content could be either text, an image, or a video, so I could create html pages with the content formatted appropriately and then I would like to just pull it into a movieclip in my flash movie and display as is. Is this possible?

No I'm afraid it's not possible without coding your own HTML parser...basically a browser and that's could get real complex, really fast.
