Input Text to htmlText

programming flash
1

Hey guys, first post here, hoping you can help me out!

I’m using an input text box to write entries in an XML sheet. I want what I’m typing in the input box to register as htmlText. For example, I want this:

Typed in input box:
Hello, <b>John</b>

XML Node receives:
Hello, <b>John</b>

—I want that, but I get this:

Typed in input box:
Hello, <b>John</b>

XML Node receives:
Hello, &lt;b&gt;John&lt;/b&gt;

If I just set the value in actionscript it’s no problem, only if I’m getting that value from the input box do I have a problem.

Any help is much appreciated!
