How to embed HTML/JS inside Flash

My web site is a chat service using Javascript and HTML. In order to put my service on MySpace I could create a Flash version, but I would rather re-use my HTML/JS version. Is it possible to embed HTML/JS within Flash somehow?

You cannot simply embed JavaScript or HTML inside a Flash movie. However, Actionscript is very similar to JavaScript, so you may be able to reuse much of your code without too much difficulty. 

It is possible that someone has written a simple JavaScript engine for Flash, but I don't know of one...

If you find a good solution, it would be useful to write about it here.

If you try to include HTML/JavaScript within Flash. It is surely possible to insert some HTML code in a TextField (see the property .htmlText), but without support for JavaScript.



I would recommend another approach:
  • Create your Website with HTML and use Flash in some parts, for example to show some animations or animated menus, but not for the whole website.
  • A HTML Web page with a little bit Flash is faster, as a whole Flash site.
  • HTML opens the possibilty of including JavaScript to implement a lot of useful things (for example Dynamic HTML, AJAX, ...).
  • HTML knowledge is neccessary, HTML is the "bread and butter" language of the web.
  • Pure Flash sites aren't searchable (and findable) from Google, Yahoo or MSN.
  • After a relaunch, Macromedia's website was a short time a pure Flash site, but there were so much rumours about the bad performance and the lack of usability, that Macromedia changes there website back to a HTML site with some Flash parts.

To embed HTML to Flash, you can check the HTML AD Plugin with Moyea Web Player . It enables you can add html-ad inside or over videos for monetizing videos on website. And the html-ad can be any thing that can be implemented with HTML code, like the Google Adsense. This is tutorial .
