I’m trying to load html-formatted text in from a file to put in a text area (which is set to render text as html text). The htmlFile instance is of XML type and it reads in the file correctly (I traced it) but when I assign it to the text area it reads as plain text instead of html-text. I use this code on loading event:
htmlFile.onLoad = function(success)
{
_root.txtArea.text=htmlFile;
_root.txtArea.html=true;
}
the text field reads a file like this:
this is an <b>html</b> file
and displays:
“this is an <b>html</b> file”
instead of:
“this is an html file”
What am I doing wrong?
