Hello!

This is my first post. I’m wondering if anybody can help me with a problem im having with flash 8 and CSS. Currently im loading text from a .txt file into a dynamic text box and styling this via an external stylesheet document, all works well and can style font size and colour. The problem is I when I try and style the text bold or italics the text disappears!! If anyone can help that would be most appreciated.

Cheers

J
