I am interested in creating a scrolling text box which maintains the text as I originally created it (bold, italics, color, etc.). The problem is, when I apply the scroll bar (by dragging and dropping) to the text box, it changes all the bold and italics to unbold and unitalicized text. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

How do I render the text as HTML? I am a bit of a novice with Flash MX. Thanks very much.
