Sure thing! Just look at the properties panel while your dynamic text box is selected and look for the symbol that looks like this:
\<\>
that is the html button.
Good luck!

I did that and had it pushed but it still shows the codes like they are part of the text. you can check it out at [http://theapextheory.zandalea.net/six-2.html](http://theapextheory.zandalea.net/six-2.html) in the PhanKlub section if you want. but its just not working for me

OOOO, The Apex Theory. Very good band.
If you used kirupas tutorial here… [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.asp) (which I highly recommend, it is efficient and easy) I can tell you that the code he gives you looks something like this…
```auto
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("kirupa.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.kirupatext;
};
```
Not 100% sure on that, but I think it should work.

Can you post your code? And what do you mean everything works?

scroller.text = this.tour;
All four are for a different text box.

Voila, you have an HTML enabled text box. Just do that to all of your textboxes then you can use HTML in the .txt files. You can only use text formatting tags such as color, font, size, bold, italic, underline, etc.

Yep, just tested it. Links do work… and so do [BR] tags, but that really isn’t important since you can just hit enter in notepad and it will count as a new line anyway.
(NOTE: Replace [] with \<\>)
