I have made a news ticker like the one on [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) using flash and xml but I was wanting to know if anyone would mind explaining how I can tell flash to make certain sections of the text bold from within the xml document.  
Basically just like a title of a news update that I would like bold while the rest of the content is just normal.
