I have created an event handler that forces text into a dynamic textbox through actionscripting for a drag and drop, like this:

```auto
 
 
if (eval(this._target) == Target_mc) {
          reply_txt.text="Correct!";
}
else {
          reply_txt.text="Try again.";
}

```

Is it possible to format the text? Is there a way to bold text, or create line breaks if I code in this fashion? Thanks!
