This works, but only displays the first few lines and then is cut off? Should I just use the direct HTML Page option? I thought using the Custom HTML/Text would give me a little but more freedom. My goal> I am the maintainer of the APP but I want my game devs to be able to update change logs and news files that are displayed within the app WITHOUT giving them access to BT Control Panel. I thought editing HTML files is the best way to do this. Any thoughts? Title Comments Ok, so I want used the OBJECT tag to display an HTML file within the HTML/TEXT type.

I have a screen that's a Remote URL, and which points to an HTML file that can be edited by other people. Updates are made there, and I have the screen set to Force Refresh, so I pick up any changes. Works well for me! The Custom HTML/Text screen is a bit buggy, I think. Plus, it requires a trip to buzztouch.com to get the data, and then out to whatever external HTML you may have configured. If you do use this screen, make sure you switch to Source mode in the editor before you put in any code...but I'm sure you've already figured that out!
