Hello,

I have problems with my external text that loads using the following code :

```auto
loadText = new LoadVars();
    loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
    loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
        if (success) {
            // trace(success);
            newsBox.html = true;
            newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
        }
    };

```

The a href html tag works fine but the \<B\> don’t want to work, any one experienced the same thing?

Cheers
