Well, I have loaded text on flash from an external txt. file. But when it comes to adding html to the files such as “font face” or to simply bold the text it won’t work, I have check to have the html clicked on Flash, but the text just wont change. Cant anyone tell me what can I be doing wrong?

Umm… let me say it all over again, I have loaded a txt file into a dynamic html box in flash… then I used the following codes:
[AS]
myTextBox.html=true
myTextBox.htmlText=myVariable
[/AS]
I still dont know why it wont read the html, the only codes I used in the txt file where to bold a few section and change the font color…:-\

I meant for you to show the code you are using to load your text into Flash 🙂
(your most recent code, with the html code added)

You should use loadVars to load in your text.
[AS]loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBoxInstanceName.html = true;
textBoxInstanceName.htmlText = this.yourVariable;
};
loadText.load(“textFile.txt”);[/AS]
textBoxInstanceName is the INSTANCE name (NOT var name) of your text box. and yourVariable is the variable inside of your text file that you are calling.
