I am importing xml to flash and it works great. I have put the CDATA tag around some text in a node and put a \<b\> \</b\> tag around a word and that works too. (With the html text button selected) So far so good.

Now, I want the text blue, so I tried an inline syle sheet code which looks like this.

```auto
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #0033FF; font-size: 18px;">Adoration</b>

```

The word “Adoration” shows up bolded but the inline style doesnt work. Is this possible with xml to flash? I know you can put an external css around a node but I want specific words highlighted within a node.
