Render Text as HTML problems

Having trouble rendering text as html . . .any ideas what might be going wrong?

i can provide the .fla file if anyone wants to see.

you have to render your texbox as html true and then tell it to read html text.

myTextBox.html = true;
myTextBox.htmlText = variableName;

can’t i just have the box selected for “render text as html” what is that not working?

myTextBox.html = true;
myTextBox.htmlText = variableName;

myTextBox.html = true renders your textbox as HTML.

myTextBox.htmlText = variableName reads the text as HTML.

HTML formatted Text only works in a textbox if the text is inputted into the textbox through AS or an external file.

myText = "<B>This text is bold</B>";
myTextBox.html = true;
myTextBox.htmlText = myText;

That assumes your textbox instance name is “myTextBox”.
