[Flash9]AS2, XML and HTML links in a photo gallery

programming flash
1

Hello all,
I’ve built a quick photo gallery using AS2 and XML based on this tutorial, and I want to create a URL link for the description text. Everything works fine until I get to the actual link - it’s displaying the HTML. I’ve clicked on the HTML button in the properties inspector for the text field (see the attached photo); I’ve also added the following in the AS:


desc_txt.html = true; 
desc_txt.multiline = true;

No luck; it’s still displaying the HTML.
Here’s some of the relevant AS - any help would be appreciated.


function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = "<a href='"+storylink[p]+"'>"+description[p]+"</a>";
picture_num();
}
}
}
