Hi David !
We found that in out situation that the big drama was getting tables to
render.
We use this component:
http://www.flashrelief.com/tablemaker/features.html
for that part of it.
What it requires is that the code is xhtml compliant and will break if
it isn't
You can use one of the variants of HTML tidy to sort out the code, as
long at the code architecture isn't screwed up too much
We found that to import the XHTML into Flash as XML also works quite
well and is more tolerant, but doesn't include the tables
I

If the huge database of HTML pages is legacy then methods as above would
be helpful.
If the HTML pages are currently being created it could be a good idea to
first translate to xml then apply an XML transform to convert them

All of these ideas are high level -- if you need drilldown then just
post again
Kind regards
