Using HTML with Flex 4?

How do I add HTML inside my Flex app just like the one Tour De Flex uses.

Here's a screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/JH6X1qUBNLI

The tag <mx:TextArea> can have a nested <mx:htmlText> tag that can contain HTML code. For example:

<mx:TextArea id="htmlTextWillAppear"
    width="100%" height="100%"
    borderStyle="none"
    editable="false"
    condenseWhite="true">    
    <mx:htmlText>
        <![CDATA[
            <p>This is where the HTML will go icluding Links, images, unordered lists, et.</p>
        ]]>
    </mx:htmlText>
</mx:TextArea>

The CDATA tag is needed so that the Flex compiler knows to interpret what follows literally and not as MXML tags.

I use this method to pupulate the text in my Flex website that provides tutorials for creating accessible Flex content.

Use the HTML Component. It is AIR only, so you won't be able to do this in a web based app.

For a web based app, you'll want to use the iFrame trick.
