LOL… well well well… someone with the same problem I had a while ago, it drove me nuts.
What you need to do is this… Create 3 dynamic texfields outside the stage area of your movie.
Type text in each textbox using the font you will be using in the html enabled textfield.
Set 1 to normal, 1 to bold, and 1 to italics.
Embed the font outlines for each textbox.
It should work now.

Yeah it is a pain, and a bug that has been reported to them plenty of times. I hope they fix it as well.

also, it annoys me when flash thinks you changed something by merely clicking on the stage, even on a new document. they should fix that too.
