flash actionscript : Dynamic html content in a movie?

Hi,
Can someone tell me if it's possible to dynamically load a HTML file into a
flash movie without opening the content
into a separate browser window? i.e. Load the HTML into a container in the
movie window itself. The actual HTML file name itself could be hardcoded in the
movie if that helps...

I'm totally new to Flash and Action Script but am a developer, so will
understand if you can even just point me to an API.

Thanks in advance.

No. You would have to parse the html using the xml class (for instance). Or use
an extension (search for tablemaker) that does the parsing (with restrictions
like content can only be in one table). By itself Flash only supports a small
subset of the html tags. You could use an IFrame but that is pretty much asking
for trouble. And, Flash isn't a browser...
