Hi Everybody.

It has been a while since I had a flash project, so I haven’t been active as I should.

I have a text symbol question and importing HTML.

In Flash, I have no problem getting the TM (�) symbol to work.

However, now I am loading HTML into a html enabled textfield via

loadText.load(“mystery.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
heading.htmlText = this.heading;  
};  
and it does not work. I get a square instead.

In message.txt, I have tried a number of ways to get it to work, but nothing.  
My last code I have tried is

heading=\<p\>™\</p\>

I am going crazy here.

If you have any insight, please let me know.

Thanks a bunch.

Sean

have you tried the HTML code for the TM?  
after all, it is loading html text rather than flash text…

Thanks for your help. I did already try your solution. It turns out it is a bug in the software.

Paragraph 3.

Thanks again.
