Do you mean an html document generated from a PHP script?
Do you mean the source of a PHP script?

Probably you mean you want to format a page such as a PHP script would do.
That is done either manually inside a Flash movie or dynamically via
Actionscripting. Then you only send data back and forth between PHP and
Flash using either the LoadVars or the XML Actionscript classes. You can use
HTML inside of Flash TextField objects but again that will be data sent from
the PHP server script.

Here are some basic examples I use in Flash seminars you can look at:

EchoEx01_Doc.php

You also want to look at the docs for LoadVars and XML sendAndLoad methods:

XML http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html
LoadVars http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002336.html

How do I put the contents of a php document into a dynamic text field in a
Flash document? Thanks.
