I’m messing around with using external html formatted text and styling it with an external css doc. But I can’t seem to get the css to override the settings for the dynamic text boxes. It does see _some_ of the css settings (text-indent, e.g.) but not font, leading or color information. I do have “render text as html” checked.  
I was all over the web and online Flash help files but can’t get this working.  
I can post my code if that would help.
