Anybody know how can we format text from an .txt file into a dinamic text scroller.  
When we write in Flash all the words have the same size an if we format a single word with bold all words in the same text assume the same bold. Imagine we want a title in our own text like this, and the following text is normal text (smaller and without bold):

[size=3][color=blue] **Bin Laden is Dead** [/color][/size]  
[color=blue]Bin Laden was found dead near Kerbala Al Qaeda’s headquarters…[/color]

Anybody have a sugestion to do this in Flash Mx (with or without loading external .txt file) ???

Tks in advance
