Changing the colour of text form an external txt file

programming flash
1

I’m building a site for a magazine and obviously they want to update the text as and when. They are comfortable using simple html code but i dont think they can grasp css yet.

I looked at this tutorial but i think it might be too much for them

At the moment I’m using this code to get the text in.

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("info/youthfaq.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
    main.html = true;
    main.htmlText = this.youthfaq;
};

and its fine but i want to be able to change the colour of certain words for links. I’ve tried using the <span> tag but that doesn’t seem to work.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.
