Hello,

I’m having trouble getting text from my external text files to render as html. I’ve selected the “Render Text as HTML” button in the Properties for my textbox, but it still doesn’t work. Is there something else I need to do to make this work?

I’m using a scrollbar and textbox that I got here at Kirupa: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm)

Also, here is a link to a test version of the site: [http://www.bleedmedia.com/edrose3/](http://www.bleedmedia.com/edrose3/)

And here is the code for my textbox:

loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“news.txt”);  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
scroller.text = this.textbox1;  
};

Is there something I need to add to this code to make it render html text? And help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
