hi!

How do i make dynamic text … have different colours and bold?

e.g.  
I have this \_root.Message = “Look over there! It’s [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com)!”

I have a text box with the variable \_root.Message…  
so… when run. it’ll show this

```auto
"Look over there! It's Kirupa.com!"

```

but how do I make it show this?

“\*\*Look \*\*over there! It’s [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com)!”

On html it’ll just be simply \<b\>Look\</b\>  
Is there a similar function in flash for this?

Thanks!
