I’m trying to write HTML in actionscript but I can’t get it to work. I’ve already given my createTextField code HTML capabilities, but I can’t remember the correct way to write the code…"\<b\> something\</b\>"…I know there is a certain way your suppose to put the marks to make them work…

this is the code I used

createTextField(“info”, 1, 25, 79.3, 330, 185);  
with (info) {  
wordwrap = true;  
html = true;  
htmlText = “this is how it is \<b\>written\</b\>”;  
}
