hello all

i am trying to load an external .txt file that containes HTML tag into a dynamic text field (with scroll bar).

i used all of the code previously posted on this forum and my final code is:

[AS]

loadText = new loadVars();  
statement.html = true  
loadText.load("…/Photos/199805032.txt");  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
statement.htmlText = this.message;  
};

[/AS]

statement is the instance name of my text field the problem is that all the text in the txt file that is included in HTML tags such as \< B \> \< /B \> is not showing when the movie is running :q:

while the text which is not included in any text field is showing properly.
