Question by Ramin Daneshmand: How can I load value of a simple html tag from external html by scripts?
I need to load some HTML tag value that i can not change them (built with CMS) to my flash by action script. I haven’t found a way to load them directly so I decided to load them with other script like JavaScript or Flex then save them into the XML and finally read them from flash. please help me how can I find a html element and load in a internal object. (or any other way is possibles).
