I’m having problems with html in flash. I’m trying to load an external file from notepad as my dynamic text w/ scrollbar like in the tutorial on this site. I want to include html though so i can have links within the text. I followed the advice from previous posts on this board including this one [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8862&highlight=html+dynamic+text](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8862&highlight=html+dynamic+text)

however, even when doing this i keep seeing everything in the publish preview i wrote in notepad such as \<B\> instead of actually making the word bold.

Any suggestions on what i might be doign wrong?
