I have a dynamic text field that is getting its string from a loaded flashvar in the HTML that loads the movie.

Here is my code

```auto
var message1txt:String = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters.message1txt;
factbar_mc.factbar_messages_mc.message_anim_mc.message1_txt.htmlText = message1txt;

```

I have tried embedding code, using device fonts… etc. Nothing is working…

please help.
