I know for a fact that the bold and italic tags work (I have used them).
Did you use \*\*\*\* or [strong][/strong]?
The way it works is with \*\*\*\*.
for italics it’s \*\*
Replace brackets with \<\>, I had to use brackets for obvious reasons.

er … how did u get bold and italic to work?
i used _,_ and \*\*, \*\* and they didn’t work, all it did was get rid of the text between the two tags. it left me with a blank space
i tested out [strong], [/strong] just now and they didn’t work either …
i’m using the verdana font, so i wouldn’t think it’d give me problems …
is there something that i’m forgetting to do?

Are you loading your text dynamically? Or are you typing it in Flash?

Ok, I am working on a .zip file to upload here, as soon as I get everything together, shouldn’t be too long.

Here is that .zip file I was talkin about. I forgot to mention the point that you can’t go below 11pt font or the bold wont show, but the italic will. But I sent this file to you anyway because I want to make sure you enabled your textbox to read HTML correctly.
Hope it helps!

No problem.
If italics weren’t working either, than maybe the font size wasn’t the only problem. Eh, either way as long as you get it to work in the end.
Good luck in your journey to greater textboxes.
