Apollo Lessons #1: how to add HTML to Apollo applications

Today at the Leveraging HTML, Javascript and AJAX in Apollo applications session, we learned how to embed HTML code into Apollo and how to launch an URL.
So I want to share what I've learned on my blog :

private var htmlObj:HTMLControl = new flash.html.HTMLControl();
html.width = 100;
html.height = 100;
html.loadFromURLRequest(new flash.net.URLRequest(http://casario.blogs.com);

Simple as the beer !
They told that HTMLControl class is like an IFRAME but it's hosted by Flash content.
The HTML content will be rendered as root content in a window with no browser chrome !

Cooool !
Stay tuned, I've more lessons to publish ;)

MAn that looks cool like its going to be cool. Did you catch if the actionscript can control elements withing the html?

Wish the same was as easy in non-Apollo Flex apps, if only for better handling of editable text.
