Embedded Text not reading HTML

programming flash
1

I am loding text into a SWF file externally. As this swf is then loaded into another swf behind a mask I have had to embed the font. When I enclose my text files in HTML tags Flash is not reading them?

This is the code I am using on my Text boxes:

onClipEvent (load) {
	{
    loadText = new LoadVars();
    loadText.load("text/links.txt");
    loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
        if (success) {
            // trace(success);
            linksBox.html = true;
            linksBox.htmlText = this.myLinks;
        }
    };
}
}

when I do not embed the text it all works fine?
