Loading html data from a text file

1

i have a code that will load text from a text file and put it in a dynamic text field:

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load(“main.txt”);
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
Content.text = this.start;
};

Thats good and all but, i want it to load it and process it as html cause i was going to put this in the text file(main.txt)…

Hello, contact me at <a href="me@myserver.com">My Email address</a>

I dont want it to say exactly that, i want it to say it as text with a link, i dont want to make the text filed html like that button does becuase it goes all white and i want the background like there would be on a text field,

Note: this text field is dynamic

I’m not 100% about this but give it a go.

Change the text to htmlText like this:

[AS]Content.htmlText = this.start;[/AS] or render the dynamic text field as html with the property inspector with the <> button.

the <> button is what i dont want to do becuase it gives it a whit backgroubd
