At this time, that is not an officially supported feature of AMS 5. If you search the forums here you may find work arounds, or maybe another has an example they can share.

If you mean to put a web site, for example, inside your ams application, it's simple. Create a folder, ex. "sample site", inside that folder put your pages, e.g. index.html, about.html, etc., copy that folder into your docs folder within your ams app, ex. c:\mydocuments\samplesite\cd root\autoplay\docs\sample site\. Place the web browser object on your page, size it as desired, and then select your html file from docs folder to be the opening page. Build project and run it. But if u want navigation buttons, you will have to create them individually, else borrow from sample browser prog included with ams5. With ams, you can create file open buttons, back, forward, refresh, print, home, etc. You may create open external prog buttons, as open notepad, etc. Within your html pages, u can embed audio, flash, video, etc. If you are creating a browser of sorts, u can combine audio player, web browser, etc., creating versatile dynamic software. If you merely want the browser object to open a page that is live online, then simply denote that for opening page, e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/index.html. As for web pages as backgrounds, you may get a good screen capture prog like snagit, and take that saved graphic and use it as background, but it would be a graphic only. If you wanted the links on that page to work, you would have to create hotspots for each link. The next question, would be whether it opened in your autoplay browser (if any) or external brower as internet explorer etc. I hope this little bit of info has helped. I came into these forums a few years ago, not knowing anything about programming. I were lucky, people are nice and helpful usually. Actually, autoplay has many options possible that simply aren't readily listed, else, evolve from individual developer. Worm, Tigger, and Corey are a great source for learning, but try to dig a little first. They have a wealth of knowledge to share.
