I’ve got a project where I read in html formatted text form a database into a flash text box.
The text goes in fine, but whenever it hits an html list tag, after that point all paragraphs appear with a bullet point, even if I load the box with a new entry.
All tags have ending html tags, and I even set the flash text control to an empty string before loading a new entry. But all new text entries still begin paragraphs with a bullet, if the text control had hit a list tag previously.
Hey, has anyone got a solution?

I cannot try “manually” because I must get the info from a database. The html is sound.
What happens is, whenever the text control hits a list tag, like “\\Some stuff\” There after, even after the \ tag all paragraphs have a bullet. Even when I reload the text control with the results of another query.
If you never hit a list tag, you don’t get bullets ever.
