help... is there a way i can have a variable to callout a certain graphic (either swf/jpg/whatever) to be used into a scrollpane ?? i know i can hardcode that but i need the scrollpane to recognize a variable to make it a little more dynamic....

OR...

is there a way to embed HTML files within a flash shell ?? i have html documents created from an XML frontend system. if i could find a way to embed that, it would save me a heckava lot of time instead of having the text imported dynamically and the scrollpane load in the graphics dynamaically. i know i can use a dynamaic text filed and with the HTML renderer "on"...it will import the graphics but in 2k4, i can seem to get it to scroll. and the text is limited to certain html tags. not really what i wanted.

i appreciate any and all the help. thanks.

welcome to the forums

for the variable, u can use _global.myVariable, so it can be read from any timeline

thanks for the advice. we decided to go with using a Flash nav bar and leave the HTML alone. it ended up being possible, but not with the amount of time i had to do it.
