Is there any way to use flash to show html? Something similar to an iframe if it can't display it naturally. Maybe something could be accessed externally in the browser?

No, you can't display html in flash.
Flash can load text dynamically, from txt or xml. This text can be formated
with basic HTML 1.0 tags like HREF, BOLD, etc... Nothing beyond that.

Hello,

You can create a dynamic or input textbox that will render HTML text. It
won't show full websites if that's what you're after.
Here's a link to everything you need to know about HTML text in Flash

Hope it helps

No, but through some fancy javascript, the DOM and externalInterface
you can simulate it.
