**My html properties of my textfield are set on true and STILL he shows all my html tags?** (property is set with actionscript AND in properties panel)

# The XML with the html content looks like this:

# \<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” ?\> \<texts\> \<text\>\<![CDATA[\<p\>Vai kaut reizi esi\</p\>]]\>\</text\> \</texts\>

```auto

var xmlTexts:XML = new XML();
xmlTexts.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlTexts.onLoad = function(ok) {
    if (ok) {
        var varText = this.firstChild.firstChild;
        mvcText1.txt.html = true;
        mvcText1.txt.htmlText = new String(varText);
        //mvcText1.txt.htmlText = "<p> this is text </p><p> this is text </p><p> this is text </p>";;
        trace("HTML set on "+mvcText1.txt.html);
    }
};
xmlTexts.load("texts.xml");

```
