HTML formatted dynamic text box screws up font! whaa?!?

ive got some text in a dynamic text box, so i can use ‘asfunction’ to link it to frame labels within the site.

BUT, choosing dynamic text changes the resulting look of the font! it also totally balls’s up the formatting. It totally ignores where i have put a new line (ie pressed enter(return)key). And it misses out half the text. Where the text box in flash normally constrains it and creates a new line, the text just dissapoears. I’ve tried sticking <br> in there but no love.

I am not linking to a text file, i am just placing the text in there in flash 8.

Im using CORDIA UPC for the site, a very nice clean font, and suddenly, when i preview it in my browser, its now arial or some such crap. or maybe its still the smae font but it looks crappy! its uglying up the scene…

whats the scoop here?
am i destined to have crappy text and usefull links or is there a sweet way round this… please
thanks
