Load HTML file from folder

Question

I'm using the following:

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

function displayHTML():void {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("assets/index.html");
    loader.load(request);
    holder_mc.addChild(loader);
}

displayHTML();

I'm working with Flash. I have a main.swf movie, and the above code is in the ActionScript file mainDocument.as. I have an empty movie clip called holder_mc on my stage.

I can use the above method just fine to load a .swf, but when I try to load an HTML page, I get the following error:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

Thanks!

The Loader class is used to load SWF files or image (JPG, PNG, or GIF) files.

If you're doing an AIR projest you can use HTMLLoader http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/html/HTMLLoader.html

Or URLLoader if not in AIR http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/URLLoader.html. But then you'll only have the source code, no html rendering.
