Hello all,

My movie contains a text box which is filled with text that it imports from an XML file.

This works perfectly. However, I am unable to format the text.

I usually use HTML tags in my actionscript to format dynamic text boxes. In an XML document, these tags obviously don’t work.

How can I put line breaks, bold text, itallics etc in a text box loaded from an XML file?

Thanks in advance for any help,

David
