HTML text in dynamically created text fields?

programming flash
1

Hi,
I am creating a series of text fields to display data from an xml file.

eventClips*.createTextField(“url_txt”,9,0,0,250,30);
eventClips*.url_txt.htmlText = “<a href=”"+child.attributes.url+""></a>";

I can’t get the text fields that I am creating dynamically to accept html, why???

I have tried .html = true;

Am I really going to have to create my own button and use getURL?

what’s the secret?

:puzzled:

I am using flash 8, as2.
