I’ve already searched and done every possible thing to get this bold to work.  
Ive tried using \<b\>, \<strong\>,\<bold\> etc…nothing happens

My text field is 11pt verdana, bitmap text, HTML enabled.

Here is my AS

```php

var dev1Length = _root.rackxml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes.length;

for (i = 0; i < dev1Length + 1; i++) {
    this["btn"+i].id = i;
    this["btn"+i].onRollOver = function() {
        loadItem(this.id);
    }    
}

function loadItem(itemID) {
    var rackValue = _root.rackxml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[itemID].firstChild.nodeValue;
    _parent.rackTxtMC.rck.html = true;
    _parent.rackTxtMC.rck.htmlText = rackValue;
}

```

The text is showing up fine, but no tags are being enabled. Here is an example node that I am loading in.

```php

<btn5><![CDATA[<b>Hardware</b>: Cisco 515 Primary FireWall - 1U]]></btn5>

```

getting really frustrated :jail:
