Hi there,

I am pulling in xml for a photo gallery as per a tute here. but I can’t get the text to render as html.

I have tried this script and it doesn’t work.

> desc\_txt.html = true;  
> desc\_txt.container\_0.html = true;

from the point that I inster the html tag i.e \<b\> nothing appears in the text box in flash if i use \< and \> it renders out \< and \>

Knowing my AS skills, i am waaaaay off, help me kirupa-one-kenobi. etc.

Thx
