> \</vehicle\>  
> \<compare\>

**Mazda.css**

> 

name {  
color: #000000;  
font-family: Tahoma;  
font-size: 18px;  
font-weight: bold;  
display: block;  
}  
comment {  
color: #ff0000;  
font-family: Tahoma;  
font-size: 14px;  
font-weight: normal;  
display: block;  
}

**Action script**

> 

//init TextArea component  
comment\_txt.html = true;  
comment\_txt.wordWrap = true;  
comment\_txt.multiline = true;  
comment\_txt.label.condenseWhite=true;  
//load css  
compareStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
compareStyle.load(“mazda.css”);  
name\_txt.styleSheet = compareStyle;  
comment\_txt.styleSheet = compareStyle;  
//load xml  
function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
\_root.vehicle = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.image = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;  
name\_txt.text = \_root.vehicle;  
comment\_txt.text = \_root.comments;  
empty\_MC.loadMovie(\_root.image);  
} else {  
trace(“file not loaded!”);  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“car1.xml”);

I have 2 dynamic boxes one called comment\_txt and the other name\_txt but the css does not apply to anything?
