Dynamic Text Embed Gone Nuts

so i have a dynamic text box textBox

I have text code: textArray[1] = “I love the movie <i>2010</i>.”;

I a frame in a movie that when loaded runs the code

textBox = textArray[1];

I can’t seem to get both the period AND the italisiced ‘2010’.

I have tried embedding Caps, Lowwercase, Numbers, and Puncutation.
I have tried having Italics selected for text box
I have tried render text as HTML
I have tried combos of these settings

Any Idea what is going on??

thanks
