Is it possible to create a webbrowser inside a Flex (not AIR!) application? I want to display some links in a Flex application and when a user clicks the links, it should open a custom component with some sort of a webbrowsing component. Is it possible?

Yes, everything is possible, but why?

Well. We create a Projector (.exe) from our Flex application, which will be launched fullscreen. We want to show a webpage when a user clicks a link inside the application; because it otherwise would open an external webbrowser, which minimizes our application. That's why :)

Short answer - no. There are some simple html rendering capabilities built-in but that's probably not what you're looking for.
Long answer - it's possible inside browser, eg. using IFrame, or using AIR, which has a built in broswer. If having an exe file and not an AIR file is a problem, AIR 2.0 allows you to create native application installers. Check it at Adobe labs.
