I have a website with a Flash homepage. I need to update the homepage about
once a week and it would be much easier for me if I can just upload a html file
instead of the flash.

Is it possible to load a html file into a flash file? I know it is possible to
do txt but can you do it with html?

hi anne,

Check out this thread for loading external html files into ur flash movie at
runtime:

adid=1007308

However keep in mind that the loaded html will be cached, which may sometimes
result in ur movie not showing ur latest updated file. for that u have to call
the html using a random query string at the end, like

yourhtml.html?math.random()

NO this code is only for MX04, Check this code for MX:

var my_vars = new LoadVars();
my_vars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("file loaded");
my_text.text = textvariable;
//textvariable is the variable in ur textfile
} else {
trace("Error loading file");
}
};
my_vars.load("my_file.txt");
