Problem displaying html tags ( >br/<) in flash from xml

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] Hi All,

I have a flash application in which the data is retrived from an xml file which is dynamically written using ASP as ADMIN Console (i.e the client can type in the data through an admin console which when updated writes an xml file). The problem is when the data is written the breaks made by the user inside the textfield is converted to <br/> and is written in the xml file. But when it (xml) is read by flash it directly prints the <br/> tag as it is rather making a break in the paragraph. Whereas i have made the dynamic textbox into HTML but it still prints the same. when i looked into the xml code the <br/> tag was written in this format ( >br/<) even though i have mad changes in my asp code to replace the tag, it still remains the same. Is there any way i can replace the [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]>br/< to <br/> when the xml is parsed which will give breaks in the paragraph displayed inside flash.
