Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / July 2008

We are writing a Flash app that requires the use of a "webbrowser" add-in with
the same functionality as that offered by the MS webbrowser control.

Namely, we need a facility the will display a window in a fixed size and
location within the Flash content area, and which will properly render the html
from a web request and display the results in the window.  All of the menus,
tools, and status bars would be eliminated, and what the user would see is a
web page rendered within the contents of the Flash window, along with scroll
bars to view all of the content.  When a link is clicked, an instance of the
actual browser would be launched (IE, Firefox, or whatever).

Microsoft has had this type of functionality availabe for VB/C# for a number
of years.  How can this be done in Flash?  Is there a 3rd party control that
will do this?
