Flash Won't Load HTML Text

programming flash

Hi all… I can’t get my text to render as HTML no matter what I do, maybe I’m just missing something simple… Here is my code:

function loadTxt(theTxt){
    var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
        
        if (success){
            my_text.html = true;
            my_text.htmlText = lv.txt;
			my_text.mouseWheelEnabled = true;
			my_text.selectable = true;
			my_text.multiline = true;
        }else{
            trace ("cannot load text!");
        }
    };
    lv.load(theTxt);
}

And then on frame 20 I have this:

loadTxt("text/file.txt")

It loads fine but if I add any HTML say for instance <b> the text displays up until it gets to that point and then stops… I made sure that “render Text As HTML” was also checked… But no luck :frowning:
