RE: FLASH: why IMPORT html into flash?

[Mountain, Mike J]

In IE4+ it's possibly already, using flash window transparencies...and

layers, you can load any url into a layer with some nifty code, over that

layer with a flash layer...fscommands call the HTML into the layer below,

add in some middleware to communicate efficiently between the two...and bob

is, I believe, you uncle....it just doesn't work in Netscrape.......or IE on

the mac I believe....

++ HELLEN,

++   BY html import i mean we need the ability to import 

++ existing web pages as

++ complete packages, so we may then 'enhance' the existing 

++ work with flash.

++   for example:

++   imagine being able to import an existing system of pages 

++ and presenting

++ them as a series of scroll by menue items, roll-over to zoom in.

++    tint the pages with a transparent overly.

++    place invisible buttons over the existing 'clickable' 

++ buttons to add

++ sound cues and a little visual indication that an active 

++ link is there.

++   put a pile of 'documents' on a desk in an animated 'cartoon' style

++ enviroment, roll-over the stack of papers and they float 

++ into view as the

++ complete existing web page[s], already preloaded by flash's automatic

++ systems.

++   bring search returns back in a 'three dimensional' enviroment.

++ 

++   but enough day dreaming... CAN IT BE DONE?

++   is it even practicle to attempt to build a template to 

++ handle existing

++ HTML pages and allow a 'load movie = load html' piece of software?

++   we have tons of money here!

++   anyone want some?

++ 

++ thanks,

++

++ 

++ What do you mean by HTML import?  You can do a frameset with Flash in

++ some frames and HTML in others, but not put HTML into Flash 

++ as far as I

++ know.  I can't envision what you mean by importing it into 

++ Flash, since

++ HTML is a browser-based layout "tool"--could you give an example?
