I have built a site so that it loads in content from text documents. I set it to format it is html and use the html tags in the text documents. When I test on my PC it looks fine, but once I upload to the server I lose the Parragraph formatting, bold and ittalics are ok.

The reason this is important is that I have invisiable buttons over certain dynamically loaded text which controlls the flash movie and when the parragraph formatting is lost the buttons are no longer in the correct position.

Have I gone about this the wrong way, is there an easier way to use specific text from a dynamically loaded text document to control the flash movie?

Any help or insight is appreciated. This is the first time I have used dynamic text in a flash page.

Cheers.
