Hello people,
Despite my recent balding pattern, I am pulling my hair out over this one:
I have a small movieclip with a dynamic text box in it. This movieclip resides in my library with a linkage id so I can attach it to trhe stage using attachmovieclip. This is done in a loop to populate a menu I have on stage. The values of the text are assigned in this loop from an array. Even though I have the html formatting option on (\<\>) it won’t display the html…instead it renders the html tag as text. I have embedded a subsequent text box with my alternative font in my little movieclip. My text has a font tag (\my text\) but it will not render the font…it just spits the tag out!
Has anyone experienced this? Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?
The fonts are embedded, the html setting is on but it does not work…☹
Please help!..I have attached an example…

Try :
```auto
newbut.labelBox. **htmlText** = _root.mytext*;
```
